Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 12 ounces whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or additional chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened butter, and chopped pecans. Mix until the dough is crumbly and well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping to form the first creamy layer.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In another bowl, prepare the chocolate and vanilla puddings by whisking the pudding mixes with the milk until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it out evenly to create the final layer.
Garnish the top with chocolate shavings or additional chopped pecans, if desired.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
Slice into squares and enjoy!
