Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Pecans
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 8 ounces Frozen whipped topping (thawed)
• 15 ounces Canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 packages Vanilla pudding mix (instant)
• 3 cups Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Finely chop the pecans. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, and pecans to create a crumbly mixture.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden, then allow the crust to cool completely.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping and spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Mix until well blended.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, prepare the vanilla pudding mix by whisking the pudding packages with the milk until thick and smooth.

Step 7

Add the pumpkin mixture to the pudding, stirring well until fully combined. Spread the pumpkin-pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.

Step 8

Top the torte with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it evenly. For garnish, you can sprinkle extra ground cinnamon or chopped pecans on top.

Step 9

Refrigerate the torte for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.

Step 10

Once chilled, slice the torte into squares, serve, and enjoy!
