Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 8 oz Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 3.4 oz Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3.4 oz Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold milk
- Optional: Chocolate shavings or additional pecans (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans until the mixture is crumbly.
Press this mixture evenly into 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 allow to cool completely.
While the crust cools, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, and cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
Spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it evenly to create a smooth final layer.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or additional pecans, if desired.
Slice into squares and enjoy!
