Coconut Cream Pie
For the Crust:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 Tbs
sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans - optional
Mix and pat in an 8x8 inch pan, bake
at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until just beginning to turn golden. Do not
over bake.
Layer two:
8 ounces cream cheese, room
temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup whipped topping
Beat together sugar and cream
cheese. Fold in whipped topping. Spread on cooled crust.
Layer three:
1 small package coconut cream
instant pudding
1 1/2 cups whole milk (any milk will
do, but whole milk makes pudding so much tastier)
Mix until thickened. Spread over
cream cheese mixture. Top with remaining tub of whipped topping. Toast 1 cup
coconut. Sprinkle evenly on dessert. Refrigerate.
