Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Four Layer Dessert Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C) and lightly greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine and 1/4 cup of confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Gradually blend in the flour and 1 cup of chopped pecans, ensuring everything is well combined.

Press this delightful mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the crust takes on a gentle golden hue.
Step 6
Once baked, allow it to cool completely.
Step 7
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese and the remaining 1 cup of confectioners' sugar until silky smooth.
Step 8
Carefully fold in half of the thawed whipped topping until fully integrated, then spread this luscious cream cheese layer over the cooled crust.
Step 9
In another medium bowl, whisk together the instant butterscotch pudding mix and milk until well blended, letting it sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Step 10
Once ready, layer the pudding mixture over the cream cheese.
Step 11
Finish by topping with the remaining whipped topping and a sprinkle of the leftover 1/8 cup of chopped pecans.
Step 12
