Chocolate Vanilla Cream Pie

A delightful dessert featuring rich chocolate and smooth vanilla flavors layered in a crunchy pecan crust, topped with airy Cool Whip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¼ cups flour
  • ½ cup finely chopped pecans
  • ¼ cup whole pecans for topping
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, divided
  • 3½ cups milk
  • 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3.4 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
  • Chocolate shavings for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two pie pans to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine the flour, ½ cup of finely chopped pecans, and melted butter in a large bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly between the two pie pans and press it firmly to form the crusts.
  4. Bake the crusts for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Once baked, allow them to cool completely.
  5. Beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  6. Fold in 6 ounces of Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture, blending gently to maintain the lightness.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the cooled pie crusts.
  8. Whisk the instant vanilla and chocolate pudding mixes with 1¾ cups of milk in separate bowls until thickened. Layer the vanilla pudding first, followed by the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer.
  9. Top each pie with the remaining Cool Whip, and garnish with whole pecans and chocolate shavings for decoration.

Notes

For a crunchier crust, bake longer while watching closely to avoid burning. Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Can be made a day in advance.
