A decadent layered dessert featuring a buttery pecan crust, a sweet cream cheese layer, and a rich chocolate-vanilla pudding topping. This classic lush is a perfect make-ahead treat for any gathering.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine 1 cup flour, 1 stick oleo, and 1 cup ground pecans. Pat firmly into a 9x13 inch pan and bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
Step 2: Assemble Layers
In a bowl, beat 1 package cream cheese and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth; fold in 1 cup Cool Whip. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.
In a separate bowl, whisk 1 package chocolate pudding mix, 1 package vanilla pudding mix, and 3 cups cold milk for 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. Pour over the cream cheese layer.
Spread the remaining Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer.
Step 3: Chill
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until firm and set before slicing.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: This dessert is best when chilled for at least 4 hours, but can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
