Description

I cannot take credit for this, but it is divine! I made it yesterday evening and it is all gone tonight.

Ingredients

  • 1-¼ stick Butter, Melted
  • 1-¼ cup Flour
  • 1-¼ cup Chopped Pecans
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 container (16 Oz. Container) Cool Whip
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2 packages (3.4 Oz. Package) Instant Chocolate Pudding
  • 3-½ cups Milk

Preparation

This is a 4-layered pie.

1st Layer –
Mix together the melted butter, flour, and chopped pecans. Thinly press into a 9 x 13 pan (ungreased). Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees for 20 minutes Let cool completely!

2nd Layer –
Combine powdered sugar, 1 cup of Cool Whip from the container, and softened cream cheese with a mixer. Pat into the cooled crust.

3rd Layer –
Mix together pudding mix and milk. Pour over the top of the cream cheese layer.

Chill in the fridge for about 4 hours.

4th Layer –
Top with the remainder of the Cool Whip container.

Dig in and make sure you get some, because it goes fast!

This is not mud pie either. We called this pistachio cheesecake (because you can use any flavor pudding). This must have been in women’s world in the 70s or something!

My husband has been asking for mud pie for ages! He has no idea what is in it or anything. All he knows is that he likes it. I found one with a chocolate cake and then marshmallow cream and icing. Not right. I will try this one next!

This is my hubby’s and mine favorite dessert. So good and rich. I use one chocolate and one vanilla pudding just so it is not too rich. Mmmm I think I will make this tonight!
