This is a favorite in our family. Everyone loves it. DD always wanted this made for her birthday instead of a cake and after she developed diabetes, I simply replaced the sugar/powdered sugar with splenda, the pudding with sugar free pudding and the coolwhip, with sugar free coolwhip, she still loves it and it tastes great!

I loved this! It was by far my favorite Thanksgiving dessert this year. I doubled the crust and subbed walnuts ( they were a lot cheaper) but kept everything else the same. It's also a very forgiving recipe. As I was taking the pan of crust out of my oven, I dropped the pan onto the oven door!! *eek* Thank goodness it was right side up, but the crust really looked destroyed. It was literally a pan of broken crumbs. So I smushed that mess all back together as best I could, and I stuck that baby back in the oven while I said some prayers. And It came out fine! Once it cooled and I layered the rest onto it, it held together fine and no one was the wiser. I will definitely make this one again, thanks!!

I am giving this recipe 5 stars only because my family has been making it for years- BUT- a few changes: we add 2 tspns sugar to the crust and bake it for 20 minutes. we also use walnuts instead of pecans and the best change- we use banana pudding instead of pistacio (not many pistacio takers in our family)- it's a highly sought out recipe from family and friends. Make sure you let the crust cool for a good hour before spreading next layer on and make sure the dessert has had plenty of tie to firm up in the fridge before serving.

YUM - my mom used to make this, but I didn't know where the recipe is. This was it! It was delish! No need to change a thing - although I did whip up some real cream (w/ 1/2 cup sugar) to use in the cream cheese mixture and as the topping instead of cool whip - this is just personal preference for real whipped cream. Thank you so much - very, very good! And a much needed green dessert to try to usher in spring!!
