Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 ½ cups chopped pecans, divided
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold whole milk
  • ½ cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
  • Optional for garnish: chocolate curls or extra whole pecans

Method
 

  1. Mix graham crumbs, ½ cup pecans, granulated sugar, and melted butter; press into a 9×13-inch dish and chill.
  2. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth; fold in 1 cup whipped topping, spread over crust.
  3. Whisk pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thick; fold in remaining whipped topping, spread over cream cheese layer.
  4. Stir 1 cup pecans into ½ cup caramel sauce; spread over pudding layer.
  5. Cover and chill at least 4 hours. Slice, drizzle with extra caramel, and garnish before serving.

Notes

The hands-on prep takes about 25 minutes, but the dessert needs at least 4 hours to set in the fridge, preferably overnight. Keep the dish covered so the top layer does not pick up fridge odors.
