Striped Delight
1 c flour
1 c finely chopped pecans
3/4 c sugar, divided
1/2 c margarine, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 2/3 c cold milk, divided
3 1/2 c (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed, divided
1 (6 serving size) instant pudding mix
chocolate curls, optional
Combine flour, pecans, 1/2 c of the sugar and the margarine. Mix until the flour is moistened. Press onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 or until lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Combine cream cheese, remaining 1/4 c sugar and 2 tbsp of the milk. Beat until smooth. Add 1/2 of the whipped topping and mix. Spread over cooled crust.
Pour remaining milk into a mixing bowl, add pudding and beat with a wire whisk until well blended, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over cream cheese layer and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Spread remaining whipped topping over all just before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired.
18 servings.
