Ingredients

Crust Layer:

½ cup (1 stick) margarine or butter, melted

1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

Cream Cheese Layer:

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 cups frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Pudding Layer:

1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix

1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
2 cups additional whipped topping (for final layer)

Optional Toppings:

Chocolate shavings

Mini chocolate chips
Crushed graham crackers

Instructions

1. Make the Crust:

In a bowl, mix melted margarine/butter, graham cracker crumbs, and chopped pecans.

Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.

2. Cream Cheese Layer:

Beat cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth.
Fold in 2 cups whipped topping.

Spread over the chilled crust.

3. Pudding Layer:

In a separate bowl, whisk both pudding mixes with cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
Pour over the cream cheese layer.

Chill for 1 hour (or until pudding is set).

4. Final Whipped Topping Layer:

Spread remaining 2 cups whipped topping over the pudding.
Sprinkle with chocolate shavings, pecans, or crushed graham crackers.

5. Chill & Serve:

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing.

Pro Tips:

✅ Use cold milk for the pudding to ensure it sets properly.
✅ For extra richness, swap margarine for butter in the crust.
✅ Make it nut-free by omitting pecans or using toasted coconut instead.

Why It’s a Winner?
✔️ No baking required!
✔️ Feeds a crowd (great for parties!).
✔️ The perfect mix of textures—creamy, crunchy, and dreamy!

Variations:

Peanut Butter Lovers: Add ½ cup peanut butter to the cream cheese layer.

Berry Twist: Top with fresh strawberries or raspberries.

Serve chilled and watch it disappear! 😋
