Preparation

1. To prepare the base, combine flour, butter, sugar and nuts.
2. Mix until crumbly. Press into greased 10\" spring form pan or square pan.
Bake at 350*F. for 15 minutes. Let cool.
3. In the meantime, prepare the cream cheese filling by beating the cream cheese with the icing/power sugar. Fold in 1 cup of cool whip until well blended. Spread over the cooled crust. Refrigerate while making the topping.
4. To prepare the pudding mix topping, add the milk to the instant pudding mix following the directions on the package. Let cool. Top with remaining cool whip. Garnish with coconut, chopped nuts, shaved chocolate or marashino cherries, strawberries. Refrigerate before serving.
*Note: Whatever name you call it whatever pudding flavor you use (I use Vanilla and Chocolate.)it is awesome! You can also freeze it for those who like frozen desserts and I put a layer of thinly sliced bananas on top of the cookie bottom before the fillngs! YUMl -- to answer \"what icing sugar is\". it is in nothern american stores called icing sugar in the sugar aisle and usually in a clear plastic bag now. and it is just powdered sugar that most people use to make icing for cakes or add to their shortbread Xmas cookie recipe.
