  • Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup pecans, finely chopped

First Layer

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioners’ powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Cool Whip (from 8-12 ounce container, divided)

Second Layer

  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups whole milk

Top Layer

  • Remainder of Cool Whip (about 7-11 ounces)
  • Optional: grated chocolate for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, melted butter, and finely chopped pecans until well blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Bake the crust for 25 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
  2. Make the First Layer: Using an electric mixer, blend the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of Cool Whip until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled pecan crust. Place the dish in the freezer for about 20 minutes to help this layer set firmly.
  3. Prepare the Second Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla and chocolate instant pudding mixes with 3 cups of whole milk according to the pudding package instructions until thickened. Spread the pudding layer gently over the chilled cream cheese layer. Return the dish to the freezer for another 20 minutes to firm this layer.
  4. Add the Top Layer: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer evenly. If desired, sprinkle grated chocolate on top for added flavor and decoration.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours to allow all layers to set and meld together for the best texture and flavor before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, chill each layer as instructed to ensure clean, distinct layers when serving.
  • Room temperature cream cheese is essential for easy mixing and smooth texture.
  • You can substitute milk with a lower fat option if preferred, but whole milk provides the best pudding texture.
  • Grated chocolate on top is optional but adds a lovely chocolaty finish and visual appeal.
  • Make sure the crust is completely cooled to prevent melting the cream cheese layer.
