Delicious light and creamy dessert we enjoy many times during the year. Easy to make, delicious to eat. This is the perfect dessert to take to a pot luck or backyard cookout. It's enjoyed by young and old alike, and keeps well for several days stored in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 cup finely chopped pecan pieces
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 tbls. milk
1 tub (8 oz.) cool whip, thawed, divided (or 2 cups fresh whipped cream)
3-1/2 cups cold milk
2 pkg. (4-serving size each) instant chocolate pudding
Method1 cup finely chopped pecan pieces
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 tbls. milk
1 tub (8 oz.) cool whip, thawed, divided (or 2 cups fresh whipped cream)
3-1/2 cups cold milk
2 pkg. (4-serving size each) instant chocolate pudding
PREHEAT oven to 350. Mix flour, pecans, sugar and butter until flour is moistened. Press evenly onto bottom of 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. (I have used an 9 x 9-inch square Pyrex dish and it worked just fine, although each layer is a bit thicker of course)
BEAT cream cheese and 2 Tbsp. milk in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Gently stir in half of the whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust.
POUR 3-1/2 cups cold milk into large bowl. Add pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. Pour over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 4 hours or until set.
Spread remaining whipped topping over pudding just before serving and top with more toasted pecans, if desired.
