Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 188 grams
1 ½ cups pecans finely chopped, 130 grams
½ cup vegan butter melted, 113 grams
Pinch kosher salt
5 ounces cook & serve chocolate pudding mix 141 grams
4.6 ounces cook & serve vanilla pudding mix 130 grams
¼ cup cornstarch 32 grams
4 cups non-dairy milk 960 ml
8 ounce vegan cream cheese room temperature, 227 grams
1 ¼ cup powdered sugar 150 grams
18 ounce vegan whipped cream 510 grams
Vegan chocolate bar or chocolate syrup for topping optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF/ 180ºC degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, pecans, melted butter, and salt. Stir well, then transfer to a 9x13 baking dish and press into an even layer on the bottom.
Bake the bottom crust in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, then remove and cool to room temperature before assembling dessert. While the crust is baking, prepare the chocolate pudding.
Combine non-dairy milk, pudding mix, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and just starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to low and cook while stirring for about 2 minutes.
Transfer the pudding to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic wrap to the surface of the pudding. Set it aside to cool to room temperature before assembling the dessert.

Assembly:

Add the vegan cream cheese to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and beat again until it’s well combined.
Add 1 cup of whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold together with a spatula.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pecan crust. Place the dessert in the freezer for 20 minutes before adding the next layer.
Spread the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer. Then place back into the freezer for 20 minutes.
Finally, spread the remaining whipped cream over the chocolate pudding.
Top with chocolate curls or chocolate syrup, if desired. Chill for at least 4 hours or up to overnight before serving.
