1 cup pecans (finely chopped)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, room temperature for easier mixing
1 cup confectioners' powdered sugar
1 cup Cool Whip
1 (3.4 oz) package vanilla instant pudding
1 (3.4 oz) package chocolate instant pudding
3 cups whole milk
remainder of Cool Whip

Steps:

  • Crust layer: Mix flour, butter and pecans and press into the bottom of a 9 X 13-inch dish or pan. Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • For the bottom layer over crust, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1 cup Cool Whip. This is easiest to mix with an electric mixer. Spread over crust. Chill each layer for about 20 minutes in the freezer before adding the next to give everything a chance to firm up.
  • For the second layer, mix together puddings and milk. Mix according to package directions. Spread over cream cheese layer. You can chill for another 20 minutes in the freezer to make spreading the Cool Whip easier.
  • Top with remaining Cool Whip and sprinkle with grated chocolate, if desired. Let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your pecan delights. Use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
  • Toast the Pecans: Toasting the pecans will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a preheated oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pecan delights tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Pecan Delights Until They Are Set: The pecan delights are done baking when they are set in the center and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
