How to Make Chocolate Cheese Pudding Pie

  1. Soften 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter to room temperature.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, and ½ cup chopped pecans. Cut in using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
  4. While the crust is baking, prepare a 3.4-ounce package of instant chocolate pudding according to package directions using the required amount of milk (usually 2 cups). Let it cool completely.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  6. Gently fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip (1 cup).
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust.
  8. Spread the cooled chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  9. Top with the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip (1 cup).
  10. Sprinkle with ¼ cup of chopped pecans.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving to allow flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
