Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed pecans and flour with melted butter, pressing into a 13x9-inch baking dish to form an even layer. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and fragrant, then let cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  3. Prepare the chocolate pudding mix according to the package instructions, mixing with whole milk until thick, about 2 minutes of whisking. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Spread the Cool Whip over the chocolate pudding layer, smoothing it out evenly.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
