Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter melted
1 cup pecans finely chopped
For the first layer:
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese – room temperature
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 (8-12 oz.) container Cool Whip (divided) – 1 cup for this layer and the rest for the topping.
For the second layer:
1 (3.4 oz.) package vanilla instant pudding
1 (3.4 oz.) package chocolate instant pudding
3 cups whole milk (using whole milk creates a sturdier pudding which is needed)
For the top:
Remaining Cool Whip
Grated/Shaved chocolate sprinkled over the top
Directions:
Crust layer:
Preheat oven to 325° F
In a medium bowl, mix flour, butter, and pecans and press into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
First Layer:
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and 1 cup Cool Whip with a mixer.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
Before moving to the next step, the crust and first layer must be well chilled and firmed. Place the baking dish in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
Second Layer:
For the second layer, whisk the two puddings and milk in a large bowl. Mix according to package directions.
Remove pan from the freezer and spread the pudding layer over cream cheese layer.
Return to the freezer for another 20 minutes for the layers to firm up again.
Top Layer:
Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with the grated/shaved chocolate.
If you have the time, let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
