The other day I got a call asking if I would trade turns for bringing lunch to our Coffee Break Bible Study. I had no reason to refuse so I went ahead and started looking through my pantry items to figure out what I could make without making a trip to the grocery store.
After checking the fridge and finding that I did, indeed, have cream cheese and also realizing I had the necessary White Chocolate pudding mix I decided to go ahead and make a family favorite for Bible study.
If you are looking for an incredibly easy dessert to make and if you like cream cheese…this may just be the dessert for you. It is smooth without being overly sweet and totally delicious. It does not take very much time to put together, which is another big win….at least for me it is a win.
Great Pudding Dessert
Crust:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup chopped nuts-optional
Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese
2/3 cup powdered sugar
8 ounces Cool Whip
2 packages white chocolate instant pudding mix
2 1/2 cups milk
Directions:
Mix crust- put in a 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350º for 15 minutes.
Whip Cream cheese, powdered sugar.
Add 1/2 of the Cool Whip and mix thoroughly.
Spread on cooled crust.
Mix milk with pudding mix.
Add rest of Cool Whip.
Put on top of Cream cheese layer.
Top with nuts if desired.
Let set in refrigerator.
Enjoy!!
Years ago I got this recipe from a friend. It had no name so I just named it what my family always called it! Sometimes keeping things simple is a great way to go. Many times…..keeping it simple is a great way to go. (Yep….I think there is a lesson in there somewhere!)
I am always on the lookout for quick simple recipes of all kinds. I love to explore the possibility of new favorites. If you have a family favorite please feel free to share in the comments……in fact I would be very grateful to have you share, as I could add to my stash of simple favorites.

this sounds so good-thank you. Here is an easy one for you. . dunk chocolate chip cookies in milk, then make a layer of them in a dish. Spread whipped topping covering them generously. Repeat layers, as desired -ready to serve in thirty minutes- I use a square dish. I think you could use whatever cookie you wanted.

Oooh that does sound good. It reminds me of the ice cream bar one. Layer ice cream bars in pan…put a layer of cool whip…another layer of ice cream bars…finish with a layer of cool whip. Keep in freezer.

I will send you the link to my post about it if you would like. It is a family favorite. I posted about it several years ago so my kids would have it when I’m not around to make it any more.

The white chocolate pudding is a box mix I purchased at the grocery store. I think Jello is the only brand that makes that flavor.

How well the pudding has set. Just like snow on a plate or a piece of art made by a professional artist. I am sure it is as tasty as it looks.
