Ingredients:
For the First Layer:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup margarine, softened
For the Second Layer:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip

- 1 package (6 serving size) instant vanilla pudding mix

- 3 cups milk
For the Fourth Layer:

For Decoration (optional):

Instructions:
-
First Layer: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and softened margarine until well mixed. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Once done, set aside to cool completely.
-
Second Layer: While the crust is cooling, prepare the second layer. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, which should take about 5 minutes. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until well combined. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
-
Third Layer: Moving on to the third layer, prepare the pudding mixes according to the package instructions, using the milk. Beat the milk and pudding mixes together slowly until well combined and thickened. Spread this luscious pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer in the pan.
-
Fourth Layer: Once the pudding layer is in place, top it off with the remaining Cool Whip, spreading it evenly over the entire surface of the dessert.
-
Decoration: For that extra special touch, you can decorate your dessert with chopped nuts, shaved chocolate, or cherries. Get creative and make it as visually appealing as it is delicious!
-
Chill: Finally, cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. This chilling time allows all the layers to set and meld together, resulting in a perfectly gooey and irresistible dessert that will have everyone coming back for more.
