It’s the perfect make-ahead dessert for holidays, potlucks, or when you need an effortless treat that still wows.

Ingredients

  • For the Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • For the Filling Layers:
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), divided
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding
  • 1½ cups cold milk
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1½ cups chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into a 9×13-inch dish. Chill while preparing filling.
  2. Cream Cheese Layer: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread over chilled crust.
  3. Pudding Layer: Whisk vanilla pudding mix with cold milk. Let thicken for a few minutes. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Caramel & Pecan Layer: Drizzle caramel sauce over the pudding. Sprinkle with 1 cup toasted pecans.
  5. Top Layer: Spread remaining whipped topping evenly over the dessert. Finish with another drizzle of caramel and the remaining pecans.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Swap the crust with crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread for variety.
  • Use chocolate pudding for a richer flavor.
  • For a salted caramel version, use salted caramel sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Homemade whipped cream can be used in place of store-bought.
