Fantastic Pie

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

⅔ cup butter, softened

¾ cup chopped pecans

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 ½ cups confectioners sugar

1 ½ cups nondairy whipped topping

1 (5 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix

3 cups cold milk

1 ½ cups frozen whipped topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, softened butter, and 3/4 cup chopped nuts until a soft dough forms. Press dough into bottom and sides of a 9 inch deep-dish pie pan. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and confectioners sugar until fluffy. Fold in 1 1/2 cups nondairy whipped topping. Spread mixture into cooled crust.

In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Allow to set up 5 minutes, then spread over cream cheese layer. Top with remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with remaining nuts. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
