Ingredients
  

CRUST:

  • cups self rising flour
  • cups finely chopped toasted pecans
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

LAYERS:

  • One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • One 16-ounce container thawed Cool Whip, divided
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • One 5.9-ounce package chocolate instant pudding mix
  • One 3.4-ounce package vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

MAKE THE CRUST:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, pecans and butter. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish in a thin layer, patting it evenly into all corners. Bake until set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 30 minutes.

MAKE THE LAYERS:

  • In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese for about 2 minutes- until it is very creamy. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, beating until well-blended- about 1 minute. Fold in 1 cup of the Cool Whip. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and the chocolate and vanilla pudding mixes until well combined. Let stand until slightly set- about 10 minutes. Pour the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer and spread to evenly cover; spread the remaining Cool Whip on top. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
