Black Forest Dream Dessert

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
• 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
• 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 2-1/2 cups cold milk
• 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
• Chocolate curls, optional

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in coconut and walnuts. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350u0b0 for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
2. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread over crust. Top with pie filling; cover and chill.
3. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Whisk a small amount of pudding into melted chocolate. Return all to the pudding, whisking constantly. Pour over cherry filling. Chill for 2 hours or until set.
4. Just before serving, spread remaining whipped topping over dessert. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
