Step-by-step
- Mix to a crumble stage and pat down in a 9x9 pan or dish (the flour, margarine, and pecans). Bake 15-20 minutes until lightly browned in an oven at 350°F.
- Combine 1 cup of cool whip, 8 oz. softened cream cheese, and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Cream together and spread over the cooled crust.
- Mix 2 cups cold milk and 2 boxes (3.9 oz. size) of chocolate pudding. Mix pudding and milk together on low speed of a mixer until thick and well mixed. Spread over the cheese layer.
- Top the pie with cool whip and refrigerate until ready to serve. I like to let it set overnight.
