Ingredients
Crust
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Cheesecake layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
Pumpkin Layer
- 2 (3.4-ounce) boxes instant vanilla pudding
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 18 ounces evaporated milk
Topping
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
- chopped pecans, optional
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium bowl combine the butter, pecans, flour, and powdered sugar until it forms a shaggy dough. Press the dough into a 9 x 13 x 3-inch baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool completely.
Cheesecake Layer
- Add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl and use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to beat everything together until smooth.
- Once smooth, fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping by hand until completely combined. Spread evenly over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Pumpkin Layer
- In a medium bowl whisk pudding mix, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and the evaporated milk together until smooth and thick. Spread it evenly across the cheesecake layer and place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, until the pumpkin layer has set up.
Topping
- Evenly spread the remaining 8 ounces of whipped topping over the pumpkin layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. If desired, add a sprinkle of chopped pecans and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice.
