Ingredients
Layer 1 (Crust)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
Layer 2
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Layer 3
- 8 oz container Cool Whip
Layer 4
- 2 cups milk
- 6.8 oz instant chocolate pudding (two packages)
Layer 5
- 2 cups milk
- 6.8 oz instant French vanilla pudding (two packages)
Layer 6
- 8 oz container cool whip
Instructions
- Make Layer 1 (the Crust): Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, pecans and butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Cook for 20 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
- Make Layer 2: Using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and blended. Spread in an even layer over the cooled crust.
- Make Layer 3: Spread the Cool Whip over the cream cheese layer.
- Make Layer 4: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and the packages of chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes, until thick and smooth. Spread in an even layer over the Cool Whip. (It may mix a little with the Cool Whip, that's okay!)
- Make Layer 5: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and the packages of French vanilla pudding mix for 2 minutes, until thick and smooth. Spread in an even layer over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Make Layer 6: Spread the container of Cool Whip evenly over the top of the French vanilla pudding layer. Garnish with mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans, if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Leftover cake can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
