Ingredients:
Crust:
One cup of all-purpose flour.
Half a cup of room-temperature butter.
One tbsp of brown sugar.
One cup of finely ground pecans.
Filling:
One package (eight oz) of softened cream cheese.
One cup of confectioners' sugar.
One cup of thawed Cool Whip (plus an additional 2 cups for topping).
Pudding Layer:
One small package (3.9 oz) of instant chocolate pudding mix.
One small package (3.4 oz) of instant vanilla pudding mix.
3 cups of milk (for the pudding).
Garnish:
3 tbsp of chopped pecans.
Directions:
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Then, in a bowl, combine flour, softened butter, brown sugar, and finely ground pecans. Press this mixture into the greased dish and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until it becomes golden in color.
Step 3
After that, as the crust cools, whisk the chocolate and vanilla pudding mixes with milk until the mixture becomes smooth.
Step 4
Gently fold the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup of Cool Whip into the pudding mixture.
Step 5
Next, pour the creamy filling over the cooled crust, and then spread the remaining 2 cups of Cool Whip on top of the filling.
Step 6
In this step, finish by sprinkling chopped pecans as a garnish.
Step 7
Finally, cool the dessert in the refrigerator until it's ready to be served, and keep any remaining portions in an airtight container in the fridge.
