Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 16 oz Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 2 3.4 oz packages Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix
- 3 cups Cold milk
- 2 tbsp Additional chopped pecans
- optional Optional crushed pistachios or extra whipped topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and chopped pecans. Mix until the consistency resembles coarse crumbs.
Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
Fold in 8 oz (half) of the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture and spread it evenly over the cooled crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the Jell-O pistachio pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Spread the pistachio pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with the remaining 8 oz of whipped topping, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top for garnish. Optionally, add crushed pistachios or decorate with extra whipped topping.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set completely.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy!
