Better Than Anything Cake

Directions

Crust layer

Preheat oven to 325° F

In a medium bowl, mix flour, butter, and pecans and press into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.

Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.

First Layer

In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and 1 cup Cool Whip with a mixer.

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust.

Before moving to the next step, the crust and first layer must be well chilled and firmed. Place the baking dish in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

Second Layer

For the second layer, whisk the two puddings and milk in a large bowl. Mix according to package directions.

Remove pan from the freezer and spread the pudding layer over cream cheese layer.

Return to the freezer for another 20 minutes for the layers to firm up again.

Top Layer

Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with the grated/shaved chocolate.

If you have the time, let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Notes

• This dessert does require time to chill in the fridge so make sure to plan ahead and be as prepared as possible.

• This dessert can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Wrap with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.

• If you have leftovers, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to four days.

• Cool Whip typically is available in 8 oz. or 12 oz. containers. You will need the amount in the 12 oz. container so get enough in the other sizes to accommodate this need.

• Layering the dessert: It is very important to chill each layer before adding the next. It gets a bit messy if you don’t!
