Steps:
- 1. PREHEAT: Oven to 350 degrees F. SPRAY: 9x13x2-inch baking pan or dish with 'Bakers' Joy' nonstick cooking spray. CRUST: MIX: Flour, melted butter and pecan pieces together. PRESS: Into the bottom ONLY of a 9x13x2-inch pan. BAKE: For 20 minutes. COOL.
- 2. FIRST LAYER: MIX: One container 'cool-whip', lite or sugar-free, thawed. WITH: Cream cheese using electric mixer until smooth & creamy. SPREAD: On cooled crust.
- 3. SECOND LAYER: MIX: The milk, chocolate pudding and vanilla pudding mix together. (The mixture will be very thick). SPREAD: Over the first layer.
- 4. THIRD LAYER: SPREAD: The other container of 'cool-whip', over the second layer. GRATE: Chocolate and sprinkle over the top. (Chocolate adds color and extra chocolate flavor). SPRINKLE: With a few chopped pecans, if desired. REFRIGERATE: Until ready to serve. Cut into (2 1/2 inch) squares. REFRIGERATE: Covered leftovers. YUM!
Tips:
- Choose the right chocolate: Use a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the chocolate: Overcooking the chocolate will make it seize up and become grainy.
- Use a heavy saucepan: A heavy saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chocolate from scorching.
- Stir constantly: Stir the chocolate mixture constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add the butter at the end: Adding the butter at the end will help to create a smooth and glossy ganache.
- Let the ganache cool slightly before using: This will allow the ganache to thicken and become easier to handle.
