directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Start with the crust: Mix the pecans and flour together. Melt butter; add to mixture and stir until moist.
- Press into a deep ungreased 9x11 inch pan--crust should be thin.
- Bake until lightly brown; cool completely.
- Blend the cream cheese and Cool Whip together until smooth. Add sugar slowly until mixed well (make sure the Cool Whip is defrosted and the cream cheese is at room temperature before starting). Spoon filling into crust and let sit in the refrigerator while you mix the pudding.

- Next spread the last tub of Cool Whip on top of the pudding, being careful not to mix with the pudding.

This is like trifle. I used all fat/sugar free ingredients and it was awesome. I didn't have enough crust so I added graham crackers crumbs to make enough. Definately worthy of company. If you want to make it ahead leave the top layer of Cool Whip off until ready to serve or it will "bleed" into the pudding. -
This is better than Brad Pitt! Its a fantastic chocolate after a heavy dinner dessert. The only thing I changed in this recipe is the Instant chocolate pudding. I hate the stuff and so I went with the Chocolate Cooked kind. I think it makes for a Richer Chocolate taste. Then you shred a dark chocolate bar over the top layer for decoration and enhanced chocolaty yummyness! HUM,Watch out Brad, Chocolate delight has got your back! Thanks for the great recipe! -
sheer perfection! -
My husbands FAV!!! Have made it before but didn't have the recipe, I'm sure it will be better now ;) Made it this morning for our anniversary dinner tonight. Thanks so much!

This is comfort food for me. My father used to make this when I was growing up. Honestly, I could eat much more of this than is good for me. I love the contrast of the toasted nuts in the crust with the pudding and cream cheese layers.
