This Four Layer Pudding Dessert is a pleaser for everyone from kids to adults. This elegant dessert is so easy to make using cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, instant pudding mix, milk, whipped topping, butter, flour and pecans. For a variation you may use different flavors of the instant pudding mix. This recipe is a favorite and has been used many times in my family. The dish is always empty when time to clean up.
