Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 packages Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups Milk
- 16 oz Whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Chocolate shavings or curls (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter (softened), all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy and well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In another mixing bowl, prepare the instant chocolate pudding by combining the pudding mix with milk. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the chocolate pudding layer with whipped topping, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle chocolate shavings or curls on top as a garnish.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Alabammy Delight!
