I sometimes use coconut and butterscotch instant pudding mix. I sprinkle coconut flakes on top of the coconut. Butter scotch chips on top of the butterscotch . I use blueberry pie filling on top of cheese cake and top it with cool whip. I use several variety.
This is a wonderful recipe! Thank you so much for posting. A local restaurant has a dessert with the same name, but instead of a pecan crust they use broken up chunks of chocolate cake on the bottom, and add a layer of mini chocolate chips on top of the pudding. It is heavenly! The cake layer would be a good option for someone with a nut allergy.
This is absolutely delicious. First time I made it in a 9Ã13, but second time I needed it for a crowd, so I used jelly roll pans, doubled the recipe for each pan, except for the pudding layer; that way it still fit in the pan and was still delicious! I used a traditional graham cracker crust to avoid any problems for folks who might have nut allergies. Thank you for this amazing recipe!
This chocolate delight recipe is the ultimate graham cracker and chocolate pudding dessert! If those two are your favorite dessert combination like Mr. Magpie, then this is the dessert for you.

I made this for my nephews today and they loved it. I made it early afternoon and served it around 8pm so the crackers had softened. The only thing is that it's a bit too sweet for me. I think the next time I make it I'll made a dark chocolate ganache and look for a pudding that's not as sweet. Also, I bet it tastes great with fresh strawberries on the side.

1. What other kinds of pudding would work in this recipe? Pretty much any kind of pudding you can buy! See my recipe for Chocolate Cheesecake Dessert using chocolate pudding here. I also want to try key lime pudding, lemon pudding, and coconut cream pudding.
2. Would other kinds of graham crackers be good in the crust? Yes! That another way to change the recipe is to change the kind of crust. Try cinnamon, vanilla, or chocolate graham crackers.
4. What can I do to lighten this recipe? For a lighter version, try using 1/3 less fat cream cheese, low-fat graham crackers, replace a portion of the sugar with a sugar alternative, use sugar-free banana pudding mix, and use light Cool Whip. But keep in mind that any alterations may change how the cheesecake turns out.

In hindsight, I think I should have either made sure my fruit was at peak sweetness (bananas) and/or mixed some sugar in with the sliced strawberries. I might also add 1/4 cup sugar to the graham cracker crumb mixture. Adding a layer of vanilla pudding would be good too.
Awesome and easy. I am also not a cool whip fan, but there are so many ways around that! I added yogurt to the cream cheese mixture in mine and doubled that layer so it replaced the cool whip on the top too. I thought it might not hold together because the pineapple layer seemed watery, but I was pleasantly surprised. I served it with homemade whipped cream and it was delicious! The whole family loved this and I loved all the fruit. The cherries and chocolate on top make it look special- my three year old thought it was a birthday cake. Great recipe- thanks for sharing!
Banana split recipe: you mentioned that you added vanilla pudding in place of the cool whip. Did you make the pudding first, then divide it. First adding it to the cream cheese, then adding it on top. Great idea!

I realize the point of this recipe is to use Cool Whip, but for the middle layer you could use heavy/whipping cream instead: once the cream cheese is all fluffy, pour in the heavy cream, mix it on med-low for a bit, then crank it up to med-high/high and whip the whole mess into a delicious light-but-stable creamy filling (or sponge cake & fruit adornment).
Hi Laura, Yeah, the Cool Whip is how my mom always made it, but you could definitely substitute heavy cream. I would actually whip the cream to stiff peaks (to make actual whipped cream), and then fold it into the cream cheese mixture, just as you do with the Cool Whip.
A friend of mine showed me a video of this easy-to-make no bake pie. As I watched how it was made, I decided to make a few changes to it! In my opinion, all the yummy flavor in this pie starts with the buttery, sweet graham cracker crust. The video showed a pre-made crust, but I decided to make my own instead! Chocolate graham cracker crust really gives this no-bake cream cheese peanut butter pie a perfect thick, rich base. Chocolate and peanut butter, a match made in heaven right?
I decided to make this pie for the holidays. I needed something quick and easy and I love that it is no bake! It was the highlight of our meal and was completely gone in a matter of minutes. Of course you have to top it with some whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. That makes everything better right?
