  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (plus more for garnish)
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2½ cups cold milk
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
  2. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust. Chill while preparing the next layer.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until creamy.
  4. Fold in whipped topping gently using a spatula.
  5. Spread cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust. Return to refrigerator.
  6. In a new bowl, whisk pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  7. Spread pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer. Chill again.
  8. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and milk. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth (about 3–5 minutes).
  9. Remove from heat. Stir in salt, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  10. Once cooled, pour the pecan topping over the pudding layer and spread evenly.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  12. Before serving, top with more whipped topping and a sprinkle of pecans, if desired.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.

To reduce sugar, use sugar-free pudding and light whipped topping.

The pecan topping must cool before pouring to prevent melting the pudding.

Keep the dessert refrigerated at all times until ready to serve.
