8 oz. cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Cool Whip until smooth. Spread over cooled crust.

Mix pudding mix and milk. Pour over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until pudding is set, about 30 minutes. Top with other half of large Cool Whip. Pretty with shaved chocolate on top of Cool Whip. Keep refrigerated.
