Description

This chilled four-layer delight dessert recipe has a pecan shortbread crust topped with a cream cheese layer, butterscotch pudding, and whipped topping.

Ingredients

• nonstick cooking spray

• 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, divided

• 1/2 cup margarine

• 1 1/8 cups chopped pecans

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

• 3 cups milk

• 2 (3 2/5 ounce) packages instant butterscotch pudding mix

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2 Beat 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and margarine together in a medium bowl until creamy. Mix in 1 cup pecans and flour until well combined; press into the prepared dish.

3 Bake in the preheated oven until very lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.

4 Beat cream cheese and remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar together in a large bowl until well combined; fold in 1/2 of the whipped topping until incorporated. Spread over cooled crust.

5 Stir milk and pudding mix together in a separate bowl until well combined; allow to set up slightly. Spread over cream cheese layer; top with remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with remaining 1/8 cup pecans. Store in the refrigerator.
