Q: Can I use a different type of crust? A: Yes, you can use any type of crust you like. A graham cracker crust is a popular choice, but you could also use a pie crust, a cookie crust, or even a pretzel crust.

What you need to make this yummy dessert:
Ingredients:
1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker crust
1/4 cup chocolate pudding mix
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup caramel sauce, warmed
How to make the this wonderful dessert:
Instructions:
Make the chocolate pudding according to package directions.
Pour a thin layer (about 1/4 inch) of the pudding into the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the pudding is set.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Beat in the heavy cream until combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans.
Pour the pecan cheesecake filling over the chocolate pudding layer.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the filling is set.
Cut into slices and serve.
Tips:
For a smoother pudding, strain it before pouring it into the pie crust.
If you don’t have chocolate pudding mix, you can make your own by whisking together 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups of milk and whisk until smooth. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and boils. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
For a creamier filling, use full-fat cream cheese.
For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
To make your own whipped cream, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat until stiff peaks form.
To garnish the pie, you can pipe whipped cream on top and sprinkle with additional chopped pecans.
