Ingredients
- Graham Cracker Crumbs
- Melted Butter
- Cream Cheese
- Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
- Whipped Topping
- Instant Vanilla or Butterscotch Pudding Mix
- Cold Milk
- Pecans
- Brown Sugar
- Corn Syrup (or Maple Syrup)
- Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: First, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and combine it with the graham cracker crumbs until evenly moistened. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and freeze for about 15 minutes.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Gently fold in half of the thawed whipped topping and spread this mixture over the chilled crust. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
- Whip Up the Pudding Layer: Whisk together the instant pudding mix with the cold milk until thickened. Spread this pudding layer over the cream cheese layer and return to the fridge.
- Create the No-Bake Pecan Pie Topping: In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup (or maple syrup), and butter. Stir until melted and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the chopped pecans and vanilla extract, and let cool slightly before spreading over the pudding layer.
- Final Layer and Chill: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pecan layer. Optionally garnish with extra chopped pecans or caramel sauce. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
