My sister called me this morning for this recipe and I realized I hadn't put it on here!! This is my FAVORITE dessert of all time! I seriously can eat the whole pan!! And it's not really a cheesecake, but that's what we've always called it and that's what it'll always be to me!!
Crust:
1½ c. flour
1½ sticks butter ~ melted
¼ c. sugar
1 c. chopped walnuts ~ you could leave these out if you're not a nut fan!
Mix all together and spread into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Bake @ 450ยบ for 10-12 minutes, until golden around edges.
Cool completely.
Mix together: ~ {I usually double this mixture}
1 8 oz. cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
1 8 oz. cool whip
Spread over cooled crust.
2 small instant chocolate puddings...mix together as directed on package with cold milk.
Pour over cream cheese mixture.
Let pudding set up 10 minutes or so and top with another 8 oz. cool whip!
Garnish with additional walnuts or shaved chocolate!! Sooo good!
