  • Bake for 22-25 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  • To assemble: In a medium mixing bowl, whip together both cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until creamy and smooth. Fold in one 8 oz whipped topping by hand. Spread over the cooled crust.
  • In the same bowl, whip together both packages of fudge instant pudding mix with 3 cups of half & half or whole milk. Whip until thickened. Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  • Frost with the remaining whipped topping. Sprinkle the top with grated chocolate.
