Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a mixing bowl, combine chopped pecans, sugar, melted butter, and flour. Mix until well combined.
Press the pecan mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
In a separate bowl, whip together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the cool whip until light and fluffy. Set aside.
Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions, using 2 cups of milk for a firmer texture. Once the pudding has set, spread it evenly over the cooled crust.
Next, prepare the chocolate pudding in the same way, using 2 cups of milk. Once set, spread the chocolate pudding layer over the vanilla pudding layer.
Finally, spread a layer of whipped cream over the chocolate pudding to create a smooth top layer. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow it to set properly.
Before serving, you may add shaved chocolate on top for decoration, if desired.
For the best results, guarantee that each layer is evenly spread to maintain a beautiful presentation. You can also customize the dessert by substituting walnuts for pecans in the crust or adjusting the pudding consistency by using less milk for a firmer texture.
This layered pudding delight is sure to be a hit at any gathering!
