Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Pecans, finely chopped
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 16 oz Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed
- 2 3.4 oz packages Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold milk
- 1 bar for garnish Chocolate bar or chocolate shavings
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, and chopped pecans. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely before proceeding.
Prepare the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in half of the whipped topping (8 oz). Spread this layer evenly over the cooled crust.
Prepare the pudding layer: In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens (about 2-3 minutes). Spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping (8 oz), spreading it evenly across the surface.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or grated chocolate from the chocolate bar by gently sprinkling them over the top.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let the layers set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious 5-layer masterpiece!
