Warning: This pie is NOT healthy. Thats why it tastes SOOO good!
Cast of Ingredients:
First make the crust.
Prepare 1 cup of chopped pecans. I like to make the pecans extra fine, good way to take out your frustrations.
I crush the pecans in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
Add the melted butter, flour, sugar and crushed pecans in a bowl and mix it up.
Smash the mixture into a pie pan, I just used my hands. Others use a measuring cup to smash it down.
Bake crust at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Allow the crust to cool. Now onto the good stuff.
The filling!
I despise cool whip. I HATE it. So I make my own whipped cream or whipped topping.
Heres how to make it:
For whipping cream, its all about the sugar and vanilla.
Pour in the entire bottle of whip cream and start whisking.
Make sure you’re always using high quality vanilla when baking, this makes a huge difference and took me years to learn.
Slowly add the sugar and vanilla. I do it by taste. This time I used about 1 & 1/2 tsp of vanilla and 2 tbls of sugar.
When its done it will look like fluffy clouds.
Oh, my heavens look at this goodness!
Next, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar. After it’s fully mixed you FOLD in 1 & 1/2 cups of the whipping cream you just made.
Pour mixture over the pecans. Make sure the crust is cool.
On to the pudding mixture. Mix the two flavors of pudding with 3 cups of cold milk
Pour pudding over the cream cheese layer.
Then take the rest of the whipped topping and put that on top of the pudding.
After smoothing out the whipped topping, I sprinkled some cocoa powder on top and added a couple of cadbury eggs just for funzies!
This pie is so delicious and WORTH every calorie!
Hope you all enjoy!
