Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and chopped nuts, then cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.
While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese layer. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in half of the whipped topping until well blended.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens.
Gently spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading evenly.
Refrigerate the pudding squares for at least 2 hours to set.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
