Ingredients

6 tablespoon butter melted
1 (10.4 ounce) jar caramel
2 (3.9 ounce) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups milk cold
2 cups heavy cream
1 (8 ounces) block cream cheese softened

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed wafers, coconut, and melted butter.
Press the vanilla wafer mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and bake until golden, about 10-12 minutes.
Let the bottom crust cool.
Pour the caramel over the cooled crust and spread it into an even layer.
In another medium bowl, combine the pudding mix and milk, whisking until thickened.
Pour the pudding mix over the caramel and smooth it into an even layer.
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream into stiff peaks.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until no lumps remain.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese.
Spoon the cream mixture over the pudding and smooth it into an even layer.
Refrigerate until it is well chilled, at least 2 hours.
When ready to serve, top with toasted coconut and drizzle with melted chocolate and caramel.
