Chocolate Delight

My perfect day is getting to spend all day in the kitchen trying out a new recipe, perfecting an old one or just tinkering around. I tell you this because it makes what I’m about to say a little bizarre.

My all-time favorite dessert is one of those whip-it-up jobs that uses semi-prepared shortcut items like Cool Whip and instant pudding.

It never occurred to me to post this recipe because it’s so popular in my family I assumed that everybody and their dog had it. Then I was making my grocery list one day and didn't have the recipe with me so I searched online expecting to find 40’leven recipes for it… and I couldn't find it. At least not the way we make it.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans, divided 
• Pinch of salt
• 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 16 ounces Cool Whip, divided
• 2 3.9-oz. boxes instant chocolate pudding
• 3 cups milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine flour, butter, 1 heaping cup of pecans and salt and press into the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool completely.
2. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Fold in half of the Cool Whip and mix until combined. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly onto crust.
