Using packaged instant pudding mix and a tub of cool whip make assembling this dish a breeze. The only baking you’ll have to do is for the crust. A mixture of flour, butter, brown sugar, and finely chopped pecans comes together into a crumbly texture that you’ll then press into the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Pop the crust in the oven for 15 minutes and the rest of this dessert requires mere whisking and layering.
For the pudding layer, you’ll mix together both chocolate and vanilla instant pudding mix and three cups of milk (we prefer whole milk for an extra rich flavor). Once the pudding mixture is smooth, add in the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and one cup cool whip. The mixture will be thick! Spread the pudding onto the crust once it’s cooled and then top it all off with a layer of cool whip. Dust the cool whip with additional pecans or mini chocolate chips for a finishing touch.
