Tasty dessert! I made one and a half times the amount of crust because I can never seem to get the crust spread out in a 9 x 13 inch pan and another half recipe of crust was just enough for my pan. I compared this recipe with other pudding desserts and others call for 3 cups of milk with 2 boxes of pudding. I compromised with 2 1/2 cups of milk which seemed to be just right. I topped mine with toasted coconut pieces. This is a nice dessert and a change of pace from chocolate. Thanks for a great recipe.

This is a versatile recipe. I like to use a lemon icebox pie for pudding. MMM good!

This is an excellent recipe, our family has been making it since the early 1970s. The changes we made were to use real whip cream and to make the Coconut Pudding from scratch. Has been a family favorite for nearly 40 years. Either way it is just great.

this is good...but i think the 9x13 dish is a bit to big.

I love love love this recipe!! I've made it a couple time as written, and I changed it up a little and used a traditional graham cracker crust (pecans can get a little expensive). I love them both!!

This has been my all time fav. desert since i was like 10 years old. This is the best!! You have to use Chocolate pudding though. Never heard of using coconut cream pudding, but maybe i will try it sometime. But for sure try it with chocolate pudding, its classic. Oh and it is even better if you use dream whip, instead of cool whip. Depends on your preference.

I've been making this for years with butterscotch pudding. This year there is a new flavor "Pumpkin Spice Pudding" a limited edition flavor for the season by Jell-o. I would suggest stocking up on it for the year. It makes this dessert "THE BEST EVER"

I have added canned crushed pineapple to this, just drain the pineapple well and spoon over the cream cheese. I have used Bananna pudding adding sliced banannas.
