Let’s get this baking party started!
First, make sure you allow your Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese to come to room temperature before mixing.
Grind up your cookies and mix with melted butter.
I used pecan shortbread cookies for this recipe.
Place into a 13X9 casserole dish and flatten out evenly.
Secondly, melt your Baker’s Chocolate according to package directions.
Allow to cool slightly.
Add the melted Baker’s chocolate to the whipped Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese and confectioners sugar.
It’s important that the chocolate is not to warm during this step.
Place the cheesecake layer on top of the cookie layer.
Use an offset spatula to smooth easily.
Prepare the Jello-O pudding mousse layer.
Place on top of the cheesecake layer.
Lastly, top with more Kraft Cool Whip and toasted Baker’s Flake Coconut and Pecans.
Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight.
Prior to serving melt Kraft Caramel Bits according to package directions.
Place a spoon of caramel on the bottom of a plate.
Drizzle more melted caramel on top!

Enjoy!
When I suggested “German Chocolate Cheesecake,” I never thought it would happen! AND the recipe is easy enough for non-bakers like me! You RAWK!!!!
Thank you for the suggestion! I actually listen to all my foodie friends suggestions. lol
Made this today and OHHH MY GOODNESS.
Every thing about this chocolate creamy goodness was next to Grand in my book of gooey yummness!
New favorite desert!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
The recipe calls for a 5.9 oz of pudding. There are 2 different sizes of pudding, a 5 oz and a 3.9 oz. Which one is correct? Thank you in advance!
Hello Kelly, 5 ounce.
Made this for the super bowl party and it was a huge hit. My question was to make it more german chocolatey could you substitute the semi sweet chocolate for the Baker’s german chocolate instead? Would it be sweet enough? Thanks for sharing a great and easy recipe !
I’m glad you enjoyed it LaVon. I’m sure you could use Baker’s chocolate if it comes sweetened. Otherwise you would need to sweeten it up with added sugar.
Is there really 2 cups of Cool Whip in the cookie crust? It’s listed in the ingredients but not in the directions. Looks so delicious and I want to make it correctly. TIA
Hello Linda, the extra two cups of Cool Whip is to top the cheesecake with. The cookie crust is only cookies and butter.
Go for it Averie, you could do 7 eggs, LOL.
