Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla and chocolate pudding mixes with 2 cups of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Let the pudding mixture sit for 2 minutes to thicken, then stir gently.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm and ready to serve.
