1. Prepare your workspace and gather ingredients.
2. Make the crust by mixing chopped pecans, sugar, flour, and melted butter until it resembles damp sand.
3. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and press the mixture into the bottom evenly.
4. Bake the crust in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes until golden brown.
5. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
6. Prepare the cheesecake layer by beating softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and fold in Cool Whip gently.
7. In two separate bowls, prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking the mix with 2 cups of cold milk until thickened, then set aside.
8. Prepare the chocolate pudding similarly with another 2 cups of cold milk and set aside.
9. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
10. Layer the vanilla pudding over the cheesecake, followed by the chocolate pudding.
11. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the chocolate pudding layer.
12. Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls.
13. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
14. Let it sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a layer of fresh berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, before topping with the Cool Whip. These vibrant fruits will add a refreshing pop of color and tartness, balancing the sweetness of the dessert beautifully.
If you need to store leftovers or want to make this ahead of time, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. It stays fresh and delicious for up to 4 days—though I very much doubt it will last that long!
