Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold milk
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, and chopped pecans until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
Press the dough into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even layer.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping (half of the total amount) until well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, making sure it forms an even layer.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the pudding thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles over the top for garnish.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
