Featured Recipe - Possum Pie

Did your granny ever make this dessert for you? Is it pudding or pie? What it is NOT is made from the "critter" for which it was named - the possum. This recipe makes 8 servings.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 large container of whipped topping
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped pecan nuts
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • Grated chocolate
  • 1 large package instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 large package instant chocolate pudding
  • 1 8-ounce package cream-cheese

Directions:

CRUST: Mix flour, 1 cup chopped pecans and butter. Press in bottom of an 8x13 inch pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool crust completely.

FILLING: Mix together the cream cheese, 1/2 cup whipped topping, and 1 cup powdered sugar. Spread evenly over crust. Mix chocolate and vanilla puddings separately, according to directions using a little less milk so pudding will set thicker. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla to the vanilla pudding. Add ¼ cup powdered sugar to each pudding.

Gently spread each bowl of pudding over cream cheese filling. Spread remaining whipped topping over the pudding. Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecans and grated chocolate on top.

Refrigerate the pie long enough for its pudding ingredients to set.
