Chocolate Delight

INGREDIENTS

• 1½ cups Flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1½ cups Chopped Pecans
• 1/2 cup Butter melted
• 8 ounces Cream Cheese softened
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 16 ounces Cool Whip thawed
• 4 cups Whole Milk
• 1 5.9 oz box Chocolate Pudding
• 1 3.4 oz box Vanilla Pudding
• Chocolate Shavings optional

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat and prepare. Lightly grease your baking dish while the oven preheats to 350°F.
2. Mix the crust ingredients. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk. Stir in the pecans and melted butter. Use your hands to press the crust into the bottom of the dish all the way to the corners.
3. Bake. Bake for 20 minutes. Allow cooling for at least 30 minutes.
4. Whip the cream cheese. Use a hand or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Continue beating while gradually adding the powdered sugar until totally combined.
5. Add the first layer. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese. Smooth the mixture evenly onto the cooled crust.
6. Make the pudding. Add both pudding mixes and the milk to a bowl. Whisk until combined and let set for about 10 minutes. Spread on top of the cream cheese layer.
7. Add the finishing touches. Use the remaining whipped cream for the top layer, then top with a sprinkling of chocolate shavings.
