I’ve been making this for more than 30 years but we call it Four Layer Chocolate Dessert and use pecans. (Your name is better) I’ve seen several people make a version with different puddings, vanilla, banana, pistachio, etc. Chocolate is absolutely my favorite and love the crust. Personal favorite, perfect summer dessert, great every time!
