Silky and creamy with distinct layered contrasts: a light, whipped cream-cheese mousse interspersed with smooth, pudding-like layers. The mouthfeel is rich but not heavy, with a slight tangy lift from yogurt and sour cream and a syrupy finish from the sauce.
Sweet vanilla and dairy-forward notes dominate, with a soft cream cheese and pudding scent. Depending on the sauce choice, expect additional highlights—chocolate adds cocoa richness, caramel brings burnt-sugar warmth, and berry contributes bright, fruity top notes.
Pair with freshly brewed medium-roast coffee or a lightly sweet sparkling wine (e.g., Moscato d'Asti); herbal tea or a late-harvest Riesling also work well.
Fresh berries or a simple mixed fruit salad, shortbread or butter cookies for dipping, or a handful of toasted almonds or pecans to add crunch and contrast.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue beating for another 1-2 minutes until well combined and fluffy.
Gently fold in the yogurt using a spatula until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
In a separate bowl, prepare the pudding according to package directions or use pre-made pudding.
In serving glasses or bowls, layer the mixture starting with a spoonful of the cream cheese mousse at the bottom.
Add a layer of pudding on top of the mousse, then another layer of the cream cheese mixture.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sauce over each serving.
Top with a final dollop of the cream cheese mousse and an additional drizzle of sauce.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy immediately.
