Ingredients:

• 1 cup chocolate cookies, crushed 🍪
• 1/2 cup butter, melted 🧈
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
• 1 cup powdered sugar 🍬
• 1 cup heavy cream 🥛
• 1 cup chocolate mousse mix 🍫
• 1 cup caramel sauce 🍯
• 1 cup chopped peanuts 🥜
• 2 oz chocolate, grated (for topping) 🍫

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Chill it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling. 🥶

2. Make the cream cheese layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside. 🥄

3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. 💨

4. Combine layers: Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently. This will give your cake a light and fluffy texture.

5. Add chocolate mousse: Add the chocolate mousse mix to the cream cheese and cream mixture, folding it in until completely blended. 🍫

6. Layer the cake: Spread half of the mousse mixture over the chilled cookie crust. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce and half of the chopped peanuts on top. Repeat with the remaining mousse, caramel, and peanuts.

7. Chill: Cover the cake and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. 🕘

8. Garnish: Once set, remove the cake from the springform pan and top it with grated chocolate and any remaining peanuts for an extra touch. 🍫🥜
