Chocolate Bliss Bowl
Introducing your next dessert love affair… the Chocolate Bliss Bowl. I mean really… What’s not to love about rich chocolate, airy whipped cream and crumbles of chocolate cookie? The combination of flavors and textures is incredibly delicious and satisfying. Now, I have to be completely transparent here… This gluten free Chocolate Bliss Bowl is based on a pie that my friend Kim introduced me to. Her recipe came right off the Dream Whip box, but Kim used a gluten free crust so it was safe for me to eat. It is so addictively good that I could have eaten the entire pie. By myself. In one sitting. For real.
Fast Forward
I wanted to serve Kim’s pie for a big party I was planning, but I didn’t want to make 10 pies. I also think pies get messy when a lot of people try to dig slices out of the pie pan. So I started playing with the recipe; trying to find a way to keep all of the layers of deliciousness, without serving it in a pie pan. And this is how my Chocolate Bliss Bowl was born. Whether you serve it up in one big bowl or in glasses for individual servings, it will taste just as delicious.
Chocolate Crumble Layer
There are a number of brands that make gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies and any of them will work in this recipe. I used the Glutino brand. The consistency was pleasant, but soft when left overnight between the layers. Think of cookies dipped in milk consistency… yummm!!! If you really want a crunch, only use them as the topping and sprinkle them on just before serving. Feel free to mix it up by using another type of cookie. Let me know what you try in the comments below and email me a pic or post it on social and tag me. I love to see your successes too! Oh! And as for crushing them- you can crush them by hand in a plastic bag or pulse them in your food processor until they are the size you like.
Blissful Chocolate Layer
It all comes down to the Dream Whip Whipped Topping Mix and Kozy Shack Chocolate Pudding. There is something about this combination that makes this taste sinfully good. I tried mixing the pudding with real whipped cream from scratch. Nope! Not as delicious. For this layer- start by making the Dream Whip, then mix it in with the pudding. The result is like a silky, creamy, chocolate mousse. Mmmmm….

Layer Up!
If you are serving the Chocolate Bliss Bowl in one large bowl, simply alternate between the chocolate and whipped cream layers creating as many layers as you’d like. Put the chocolate crumbles in between those layers or only on the top. It’s up to you! Want to serve in smaller glasses? Put the chocolate and whipped cream layers in large zipped plastic bags. Cut off about ½ inch from one corner. The result is an inexpensive piping bag! Now you can easily squeeze the layers into the smaller glass. Then use a spoon to level and smooth the layer out. Continue this method until the glass is full. Finally, refrigerate several hours or overnight until set and chill through. Then it is ready to serve!

Where do I find cozy shack pudding . Ready made?
Where do I find gluten free chocolate cookies?
I’m a far from experienced cook.
Hi Anita! Cozy Shack Pudding is found in most grocery stores in their refrigerated dairy area. Sometimes near the yogurt or cream cheese. You can substitute another brand if you’d like. Cozy Shack comes in a 22oz tub, so you’ll want to substitute with about 3 cups of chocolate pudding. Gluten Free chocolate sandwich cookies can be found in most grocery stores in their special diets section or mixed along with their regular cookies. Walmart and Whole Foods usually have a good selection of gluten free cookies. If you don’t need to eat gluten free, you can substitute with any other brand of cookie as well. Thank you for writing & have an awesome time making the Chocolate Bliss Bowls!
