• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 16 oz. whipped topping, divided
• 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup powdered sugar

3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine 2 cups whipped topping, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy; spread over cooled crust.
4. Combine pudding mix and milk; whisk until smooth and let stand 5-10 minutes to thicken. Spread pudding over cheesecake mixture.
5. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate 2 hours or until ready to serve.
6. Before serving, top with remaining whipped topping and chopped nuts.
7. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
