Prepare the pudding according to the package directions, using the 3 cups of milk.
Step 3
Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and spread this over the crust. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
Step 4
Cover the pudding with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with chopped peanuts, if desired.
