Ingredients
- 1 box carrot cake mix, plus ingredients listed on the box to make the cake (I like Duncan Hines Decadent Classic mix)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 3 cups milk
- 2 packages instant vanilla pudding (3.4 ounce size boxes)
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, (like cool whip)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Notes
- Works great to chill overnight, just cover loosely with wrap or foil so cake doesn't dry out.
- Be sure to keep refrigerated until serving. Do not keep out in the hot sun for long periods of time.
