Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 package of graham crackers

Nuts and Sauces

  • 1 cup of chopped pecans
  • 1 cup of caramel sauce

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 cup of chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups of milk

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar

Topping

  • 1 container of whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Make Chocolate Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk thoroughly until the mixture thickens, indicating the pudding is set.
  3. Layer Graham Crackers: Arrange a single layer of graham crackers evenly at the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to create the base of the dessert.
  4. Add Cream Cheese Layer: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham crackers, creating a creamy layer.
  5. Add Chocolate Pudding Layer: Carefully spoon and spread half of the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer to form the next layer.
  6. Drizzle Caramel and Sprinkle Pecans: Drizzle half of the caramel sauce across the pudding layer, then sprinkle half of the chopped pecans evenly on top.
  7. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining graham crackers, cream cheese mixture, chocolate pudding, caramel sauce, and chopped pecans, finishing with a generous layer of whipped topping on the very top.
  8. Chill: Place the assembled dessert in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and pudding mix for a richer flavor.
  • You can toast the pecans lightly to enhance their flavor before sprinkling.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • The dessert can be prepared up to a day ahead to deepen the flavors.
  • Use homemade caramel sauce or high-quality store-bought for a more authentic taste.
  • Keep the dessert refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain its texture and freshness.
