VOODOO PIE
Yield: 1 9-inch pie; 8 servings
For the Crust:
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
1st Layer:
1 c. frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed according to
directions
1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 c. confectioners' sugar
2nd Layer:
1 (5.9-oz.) pkg. instant chocolate pudding mix
2/3 c. 2% or whole milk*
For the Topping:
2c. frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed according to directions
For the Garnish:
Choice:
Sliced bananas
Drained crushed pineapple
Canned cherry pie filling, etc.
To prepare crust:
In a small bowl, combine pecans, melted butter, and flour. Pat into
the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake in a preheated
350ยบ F. oven until lightly browned. Remove from oven. Let cool.
To prepare filling:
1st layer: In a mixing bowl, blend 1 cup whipped topping, cream
cheese, and confectioners' sugar until creamy. Spread into cooled crust.
2nd layer: Whisk together pudding mix and milk. Spread evenly over
cream cheese layer, and then spread remaining whipped topping on top.
Place in refrigerator to chill for 2 hours before serving.
To garnish:
Top with your choice of fruit toppings. Use a combo or a single fruit,
fresh, frozen or canned.
Note: You can use reduced-fat or fat-free whipped topping and cream
cheese, but the milk should be 2% fat or whole milk for the pie to set
up.
Variations: This pie lends itself especially well to 'adventurous
baking.'
Crust: Other nuts may be substituted for pecans. You could use a graham
cracker or gingersnap crust.
1st layer: Cinnamon and/or vanilla or almond extract could be blended
in.
2nd layer: Chocolate isn't the best combination with some fruits. Try
vanilla, butterscotch, pistachio, or lemon pudding mix with fruits that
complement them. Nuts (pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, or
cashews) may also be added to either the 1st or 2nd layer or blended
into the topping.

When we are grateful for the good we already have,
we attract more good into our life.
On the other hand, when we are ungrateful, we tend to shut ourselves off from
the good we might otherwise experience.
