Equipment

  • 1 9x13 dish

Ingredients
  

  • 25 whole gluten free vanilla wafer cookies, crushed approximately half of the Kinnikinnick box
  • 8 oz block of cream cheese, room temperature for easier mixing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 16 oz tub of thawed cool whip, divided
  • 1 5.9 oz package instant chocolate pudding
  • 1 5.1 oz package instant vanilla pudding
  • 3.5 cups milk
  • pecans to garnish the top (optional)

Instructions
 

First Layer

  • Crush the 25 gluten free vanilla wafer cookies by placing them in a ziploc bag and crushing them by hand or with a utensil. You can also blend them in a mixer by I like bigger chunks in this recipe. Lay the crushed wafers in the bottom of the 9x13 dish.
  • Mix together 8 oz block of cream cheese, room temperature for easier mixing, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 cup of the thawed cool whip, until smooth. Save the rest of the tub of cool whip for the third layer. You can use a hand mixer, stand mixer, or mix by hand for this step. Pour mixture on top of wafer crumbs. Mix the crumbs into the cream cheese mixture and spread evenly in dish.

Second Layer

  • Pour 1 5.9 oz package instant chocolate pudding, 1 5.1 oz package instant vanilla pudding, and 3.5 cups milk in a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and thicker consistency. Spread evenly over cream cheese mixture.

Third Layer

  • Spread the rest of the 16 oz tub of thawed cool whip over the pudding mixture. Add pecans over the top as garnish, if desired.
  • Serve immediately or the next day. I think it tastes even better the second day!

Notes

Variations:
  • Add pecans to the wafer crumb layer for additional pecans.
  • Use walnuts instead of pecans.
  • Use gluten free graham cracker crumbs instead of wafers. (I tried this myself and really love the wafers instead).
