Ingredients
For the layers

- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup caramel sauce
For the topping
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup chocolate sauce

Instructions
- Prepare the cream: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Build the first layer: Arrange chocolate cookies or biscuits in a serving dish to form an even base.
- Add the cream: Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the cookies, followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Repeat the layers: Continue layering cookies, cream, and caramel until all ingredients are used, finishing with a creamy layer.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until the layers are firm and set.
- Decorate: Drizzle chocolate and caramel sauces over the top, then sprinkle generously with chopped pecans.
- Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Tips for the Best Results
- Chill the dessert overnight for cleaner slices and better flavor.
- Use toasted pecans for a deeper, nuttier taste.
- Warm the caramel sauce slightly if needed to make drizzling easier.
- For extra chocolate flavor, add a thin layer of melted chocolate between the layers.
