Number Of Ingredients 7

9 oz. prepared shortbread or graham cracker crust (The larger crust size! There are 6 oz., smaller crusts, the 9 oz. is better here)

1 cup cold milk
2 - 3.4 oz. boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp. butter extract (optional)
2 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans (divided)
8 oz. container Cool Whip or whipped topping (thawed, and additional whipped topping for garnish, if desired)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, milk, dry pudding mix, butter extract, and 2 cups toasted pecans (reserving 1/2 cup for garnish).

  • Refrigerate til set, at least 2 hours.
  • If desired, garnish with additional whipped cream and remaining toasted pecans. Cut and serve.

  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter is what makes pie crust flaky and delicious.
