This is a dessert my grandmother makes and it’s always a hit when she brings it to a picnic. The first layer is a crust made with nuts, next is cream cheese and whipped topping, then a chocolate/vanilla layer and last, but not least is whipped topping and some shaved chocolate!
Crust:
1/2 C ground walnuts
1/4 C sugar
1 C flour
1/2 C butter, melted
Second layer:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 C frozen whipped topping (from a 16 ounce container)
1 C powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Third layer:
1 small package instant vanilla pudding
1 small package instant chocolate pudding
2 1/2 C milk
Fourth layer:
remaining frozen whipped topping
1/2 C shaved chocolate
Directions:
This dessert can be made in a Square Pan
Mix together the ground nuts, sugar, flour and melted butter. Press evenly into the bottom of your ungreased pan.
Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Mix both puddings and milk together. Set aside to thicken.
Cream together the cream cheese, frozen whipped topping, powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy.
Take this mixture and spread it onto the cooled crust.
Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
Spread the remaining frozen whipped topping over the pudding then sprinkle on the shaved chocolate. Place in the refrigerator for two hours.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
Wow! Looks absolutely decadent! I'll be bookmarking this one! Anything with chocolate and cream cheese is right up top on my list of sinful must-haves!

looks like a lot of work, but really yummy! Come on over to my tasty party! http://nap-timecreations.blogspot.com/2011/05/papas-mac-and-cheese-and-tasty-tuesday.html
I've made this before but always in a 13x9x2 pan. Using a spring foam one is a great idea for better presentation! Thanks for the idea. Your photo play-by-play is fantastic.
This looks great!
found your site thru Melt in your Mouth Monday!

I really enjoy nut-based crusts. They add such great flavor and depth to any dessert.
