"Note: you'll notice from my pictures that the crust on the layered dessert is thicker than normal. That's because I like a lot of crust - so I double the crust ingredients below (having said that, my husband much prefers the thinner crust - so follow your instincts and do what you like - if you've never made it before, I'd suggest just using the normal amounts below and not doubling to see how you like it that way) and bake the crust for about 12 minutes. Also, make note that if you are making pudding from scratch, that step can, and should, be done ahead of time - even up to 2 days ahead - so the pudding has time to cool completely. If homemade pudding isn't your thing, you can substitute 2 small packages of instant pudding mixed with 4 cups of milk...."
