Preparation

Step 1

In small bowl, combine biscuit mix, walnuts and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Press into ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.

In small bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Fold in half of whipped cream; spread over crust. Stir remaining confectioners' sugar into remaining whipped cream; refrigerate until serving.

In another bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Spread over cream cheese layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate curls if desired.
