Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 16 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
• 1 box (5.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 1 box (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons grated chocolate (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened butter, and chopped pecans. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly dough.

Step 3

Press the dough into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Fold in 1/3 of the whipped topping.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 7

In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix, vanilla pudding mix, and milk until thickened. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer in the dish.

Step 9

Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.

Step 10

If desired, garnish the top with grated chocolate or a sprinkle of chopped pecans.

Step 11

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.

Step 12

Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
