Steps
Crust layer: Mix flour, butter and pecans and press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish or pan. Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
For the bottom layer over crust, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1 cup Cool Whip. This is easiest to mix with an electric mixer. Spread over crust. Chill each layer for about 20 minutes in the freezer before adding the next to give everything a chance to firm up.
For the second layer, mix together puddings and milk. Mix according to package directions, but use the amounts called for in this recipe. Spread over cream cheese layer. You can chill for another 20 minutes in the freezer to make spreading the Cool Whip easier.
Top with remaining Cool Whip and sprinkle with grated chocolate, if desired. Let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Reviews
Holly on 2026-05-01 (5 stars): My mom used to make this for me (or any individual sibling) when I came home from college or when I would come home to visit after getting married. (40 years ago?) Each of my siblings have different tastes. She would use butterscotch pudding for mine, chocolate for my sister, or a can of cherry pie filling for my other sister and brother! Sometimes she would put butterscotch pudding on one side and chocolate on the other! She usually topped with chopped walnuts.

Kat Bono on 2025-01-12 (5 stars): We've made a similar recipe in our family for decades, and now my son loves it. I will say that I used a 13x9 pan and the layers are too thin. I'll use a smaller pan next time.
