Ingredients

• For the crust:
• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the cream cheese layer:
• 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 container (16 oz) Cool Whip, divided
• For the pudding layer:
• 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1½ cups cold milk
• For the topping:
• 2 cups chopped pecans
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Preparation Method

1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish to form a crust. Refrigerate to set.
2. Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in half of the Cool Whip and spread over the chilled crust.
3. Whisk instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Spread pudding over the cream cheese layer.
4. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer.
5. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top and drizzle with caramel sauce.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. Slice into squares and serve.

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra-special twist, toast your pecans before sprinkling them over the top. Just place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. It brings out a deeper, nuttier flavor that complements the caramel perfectly.

Want to change things up? Try swapping the vanilla pudding for butterscotch or cheesecake flavor, or even fold some cinnamon into the cream cheese layer for a warm fall vibe.
