Sometimes the best desserts are the easiest to make. This Four Layered Pudding and Cream Cheese Dessert with is as easy as can be. Especially if you use Cool Whip (or the like) instead of whipping your own (but I prefer to whip my own). There are four layers. First a pecan filled crust. Then a creamy layer of cream cheese mixed with whipped cream. Topped with a layer of pudding which can be any flavor you want. Chocolate is NY’s favorite. Add a layer of whipped cream and a bit of garnish and there you have it.
Delicious and a bit addictive too!!
