Chocolate Cheesecake Lasagna
INGREDIENTS:
For the crust:
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
For the cheesecake layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup Cool Whip
For the vanilla pudding layer:
- 2 cups milk
- 1 packet instant vanilla pudding
For the chocolate pudding layer:
- 1 packet instant chocolate pudding
- 2 cups milk
For top:
- 2 cups Cool Whip
- Chocolate shavings
PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, melted butter and flour until well mixed. Press evenly into prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes and set on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While crust is baking, prepare the cheesecake layer. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar and Cool Whip until fluffy.
- In two separate bowls, make the vanilla and chocolate puddings. In each bowl, mix the pudding mix with 2 cups of milk. Using less than the package calls for results in a firmer pudding for this recipe.
- When crust has fully cooled, spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over it. Next, spread the vanilla pudding over it, and then the chocolate pudding. To finish, spread the 2 cups of Cool Whip over the top and garnish with chocolate shavings.
- Set in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours. Serve, and enjoy!
