Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and pecans until finely chopped.
- Add the melted butter and ¼ cup sugar to the graham cracker mixture and pulse a few times to combine.
- Press the mixture into a 9×13-inch pan, creating an even layer on the bottom.
- Bake for 8 minutes and allow it to cool completely before starting the second layer.
- Mix the cream cheese, vanilla, half of the Cool Whip (8 ounces), and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Spread over the crust.

- Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight if possible.

Notes
- It’s highly recommended to make this delicious dessert a day ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight. This will allow it to thicken and make it easier to cut into slices.
- The graham cracker/pecan crust will be very soft when it comes out of the oven. It will harden once it cools completely.
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, so you don’t have lumps in your cream cheese filling.
