Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup pecans for topping
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, divided
  • 3 1/2 cups milk
  • 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3.4 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
  • Chocolate shavings for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two pie pans to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans, and melted butter. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Form the crusts: Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared pie pans and press it firmly to form the crusts.
  4. Bake the crusts: Place the crusts in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Allow them to cool completely after baking.
  5. Prepare the cream cheese mix: In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Incorporate Cool Whip: Gently fold in 6 ounces of the Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring a light texture.
  7. Layer the cream cheese mixture: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled crusts.
  8. Whisk the pudding: In separate bowls, each with 1 3/4 cups of milk, whisk the instant vanilla and chocolate pudding mixes until they are thickened.
  9. Layer pudding: Layer the vanilla pudding over the cream cheese mixture, followed by the chocolate pudding.
  10. Add toppings: Top the pies with the remaining Cool Whip, and then sprinkle with the extra chopped pecans and chocolate shavings for decoration.

Notes

Ensure your butter is melted but not hot when mixing; this helps maintain the integrity of the crust. Store the pie covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Freeze without toppings for up to a month.
