Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Crust:
In a medium bowl, stir together butter, flour, pecans and brown sugar. Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
Bake until crust begins to brown around the edges, about 15-20 minutes. Cool completely.
Cream Cheese Layer:
In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth. Evenly spread into cooled crust.
Chocolate Layer:
In a separate bowl, mix both pudding mixes with milk; allow to set for 5 minutes. Spread thickened pudding over cream cheese mixture. Place in refrigerator to chill until set, at least 4 hours.
