Equipment
Ingredients
Cheesecake Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
Cheesecake layer
- 8 oz full fat cream cheese - softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Cool Whip - from the 16 oz container, save the rest for later
Hershey’s layer
- 8 10 Hershey’s Kisses Birthday Cake flavor - crushed in a food processor or smashed with a rolling pin for a fine crumb
Pudding layer
- 1 box cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix - 3.4 oz
- 1 ½ cups cold milk
- 1 cup Cool Whip - from the remaining container
- Rainbow sprinkles - pick your favorite type of sprinkles
Topping
- Remaining Cool Whip - about ½–1 cup
- Extra sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of an 8×8 pan. Freeze while preparing the filling.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in 1 cup Cool Whip until fluffy. Spread over the crust.
- Sprinkle crushed Hershey’s Kisses evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until slightly thickened. Fold in 1 cup Cool Whip and sprinkles. Spread over the Hershey’s layer.
- Top with remaining Cool Whip and extra sprinkles. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3–4 hours or overnight for best results.
Notes
- For a fun twist on the crust, swap out the graham crackers for Golden Oreos or chocolate Oreos. Crush them in a food processor for a fine crumb and mix with melted butter just like the graham cracker crust.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and easy clean up.
- Chill the cheesecake in the freezer for 30–60 minutes to get firmer slices.
- For best results, make it a day ahead—the flavors and textures improve even more after a few hours in the fridge.
