Tuesday evening when the family got together in Scottsdale, I could not show up without bringing something. You know me, I love to cook. I figured the children would like the creamy pudding inside this dessert (and big children would like it too)!
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/8 cups chopped pecans, divided
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 (3.4-ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
3 cups milk
Preheat oven to 300. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, cream together butter with 1/4 cup sugar. Mix in flour and 1 cup pecans. Press into a prepared dish. Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.
In a bowl, cream together cream cheese with remaining 1 cup confectioners sugar. Fold in half of whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust.
Stir together pudding mix and milk. Spread over cream cheese layer. Top with remainder of whipped topping and sprinkle with remaining nuts. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Hope you and your family can enjoy this dessert during the Christmas season.
