Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut butter into flour, blend well and add chopped pecans.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 1/2 x 11-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes. Watch closely.
- Allow to cool before adding the filling.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and toasting the pecans before adding them to the crust. If you want a different flavor profile, you can substitute the butterscotch pudding with chocolate or vanilla pudding. To ensure the crust is firm, press it down well before baking. This torte can also be made ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful torte chilled and garnish with additional Cool Whip and chopped pecans on top for an elegant touch. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a slice of Fruit Dip From Heaven.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you need to reheat it, a quick 10-15 seconds in the microwave should suffice, but be cautious not to melt the cream cheese filling too much. This torte is best enjoyed chilled.
