Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed
- chocolate shavings or additional pecans (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsalted butter (cut into small cubes), and finely chopped pecans. Mix with a fork or pastry cutter until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
In another mixing bowl, whip together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Slowly add the heavy whipping cream and beat until light and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, following the package instructions. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with an even layer of thawed frozen whipped topping.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings or additional chopped pecans before serving.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
