Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed pecan shortbread cookies with melted unsalted butter until well coated. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to create an even layer.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden. Allow to cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Fold in half of the Cool Whip until fully incorporated. Spread cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together chocolate pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes until thickened and smooth. Spread the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Top with remaining Cool Whip, spreading gently. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top for garnish.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy.
