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 ½ cup unsalted butter, ⅓ cup chopped pecans, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and ½ cup 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 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 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 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 2 (3.4-ounce) boxes instant vanilla pudding, ½ cup pumpkin puree, 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and 18 ounces 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 8 ounces 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.
