Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Baking dish (9×13 inch)
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, divided
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, pecans, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread this mixture over the cooled crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until thickened. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with the remaining whipped topping. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the crust is completely cool before adding the cream cheese layer to prevent it from melting.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- Chill thoroughly for clean slices when serving.
Additional Tips and Variations
- Try substituting the chocolate pudding with vanilla or butterscotch for a different twist.
- Add a layer of caramel sauce between the cream cheese and pudding layers for extra indulgence.
