Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 cup crushed pecan sandies cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp powdered sugar divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract divided
- 8 oz heavy whipping cream
- 3.4 oz boxes instant coconut cream pudding

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray the bottom only of a 8”x8” pan or baking dish with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix together crushed cookies and melted butter. Press in an even layer in the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool.
