Ingredients
Scale
Nut Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup pecans, chopped
Whipped Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 16 ounces Cool Whip (1 large tub)
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 2 boxes chocolate instant pudding (3.9 oz each)
- 3 cups milk
Instructions
- Prepare Nut Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans. Mix well to form a crumbly mixture. Evenly press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×14 inch baking dish to form a crust. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely to room temperature before proceeding.
- Create Whipped Cream Cheese Layer: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and well combined. Add half of the Cool Whip to the mixture and mix thoroughly. Spread this creamy layer gently over the cooled nut crust, ensuring even coverage. Allow this layer to set slightly before adding the next layer.
- Make Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the two boxes of chocolate instant pudding mix with 3 cups of milk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken. Pour the pudding carefully over the cream cheese layer, spreading gently as needed to cover the entire surface. Place the dessert in the refrigerator and chill until the pudding layer is fully set.
- Add Whipped Topping: Once the pudding has set, gently spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top layer to create a light, fluffy finish. Return the dessert to the refrigerator and chill until fully set before serving or adding any additional toppings or garnishes.
Notes
- Nutrition information is an estimate and may vary depending on specific ingredients used.
- Ensure the crust is completely cooled before adding the cream cheese layer to prevent melting.
- For best results, chill the dessert for at least 1 hour or until all layers are firm.
- You may garnish the top with extra chopped pecans or chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.
