Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 3/4 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 cups hot fudge sauce, warmed
  • 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies or Oreos
  • Optional: additional chocolate chips and cookie crumbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Add milk and whisk until smooth.
  3. Fold in mini chocolate chips and spread the batter evenly in the baking dish.
  4. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Let the cake cool for at least 20 minutes. Poke holes all over the surface with a wooden spoon handle.
  6. Pour the warmed hot fudge over the cake, letting it soak into the holes. Rest for 15 minutes.
  7. Spread whipped cream or topping evenly over the cake.
  8. Top with crushed cookies and optional extra chips or crumbs.
  9. Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use dark chocolate cake mix for a richer flavor.
  • Chill completely before adding whipped topping to prevent melting.
  • Add cookie crumbs just before serving to keep them crunchy.
  • Use sugar-free options for a lower-sugar version.
  • Microwave individual slices for a warm, gooey bite.
