Time 45m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

FOR THE SALTED PECAN CRUST:
1 1/2 c. All-purpose Flour
1/2 c. Packed Brown Sugar
3/4 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/3 c. Finely Chopped Pecans
9 tbsp. Cold Unsalted Butter
FOR THE CREAM CHEESE LAYER:
12 oz. weight Cream Cheese, Softened
1 1/2 c. Powdered Sugar
12 oz. weight Cool Whip, Divided (1 1/2 Cups For Cream Cheese Layer, Remaining For Cool Whip Layer)
FOR THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING LAYER:
2 boxes (3.9 Oz. Size) Chocolate Fudge Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
4 c. Cold Whole Milk
FOR THE COOL WHIP LAYER:
Remaining Cool Whip From Cream Cheese Layer
2 oz. weight Shaved Dark Chocolate From A Bar

Steps:

  • For the salted pecan crust:Preheat oven to 325° F.In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and pecans. Cut in butter with a rigid pastry cutter or a fork until crumbly. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until crust is set and slightly browned. It should smell nice and toasty, buttery and nutty. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.For the cream cheese layer:With a blender, whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until completely smooth. With a rubber spatula, fold in 1-1/2 cups of Cool Whip from the 12-ounce container until combined. Spread mixture onto cooled crust. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.For the chocolate pudding layer:In a medium bowl, whisk pudding with milk for 2 minutes. Pudding will become more and more thick as you whisk. Spread pudding evenly over cream cheese layer.For the Cool Whip layer:Evenly spread remaining Cool Whip from the 12-ounce container over chocolate pudding layer. Sprinkle with shaved chocolate. (I use a vegetable peeler, running it down the sides of a chocolate bar.) Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight before serving.This dessert can easily be made the day prior to serving. I actually prefer the overnight refrigeration, as it allows the dessert to chill thoroughly and firm up. Always serve this dessert chilled.
