Method
 

Make the pudding

Whip the cream
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip the fresh cream until stiff peaks form. Reserve 110g for later.
Make the mousse
  1. In another bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Fold in the remaining whipped cream until smooth.
Layer the mousse
  1. Spread the mousse evenly over the chilled cookie base and freeze for about 10 minutes.
Add the pudding layer
  1. Pour the cooled pudding over the mousse and smooth the top.
Finish with whipped cream
  1. Spread the reserved whipped cream on top and optionally sprinkle with chocolate chips.
