This recipe is not especially heart-healthy — or any kind of healthy. But, if you are looking for a sumptuous dessert (maybe to serve for a special occasion) that is “Died and Gone to Heaven” good, this is it.<\/p>\n

Low-Fat Alternative:<\/strong> you can make a low-fat version of this recipe using low-fat cream cheese, low-fat topping, and use skim milk with the instant pudding.<\/p>\n

Bottom layer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
  • 2 sticks butter<\/li>\n
  • 3 cups flour<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts\n

    Mix the butter, flour and walnuts as you would for pie crust, pat into a 9×13 pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool.<\/p>\n

    Second layer:<\/strong><\/li>\n

  • 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese (softened)<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups of powdered sugar<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups of Cool Whip (or another similar topping)\n

    Measure into a mixing bowl and whip at high speed until smooth. Spread over the first layer.<\/p>\n

    Third layer:<\/strong><\/li>\n

  • 2 3-ounce packages of instant pudding (any flavor — chocolate, lemon, butterscotch, vanilla, pistachio — whatever you like)<\/li>\n
  • 3 cups of milk\n

    Pour instant pudding into a mixing bowl, add the milk, and whip at high speed for several minutes until thick. Spread over the cream cheese layer.<\/p>\n

    Fourth layer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Spread on enough Cool Whip (or another topping) to cover the pudding. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and coconut.<\/p>\n

    Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.<\/li>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
