When we lived in Nebraska, there was a well-known cafeteria in the area that served one of the best pies I ever tasted. I purchased a Nebraska community cookbook, and there was the recipe! It’s creamy, fluffy and sweet…a real “sweet-tooth” delight. Ingredients:
crust |
13/4 cup graham cracker crumbs |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup melted butter |
pie filling |
3 ounce package instant french vanilla pudding mix |
3 ounce package instant chocolate fudge pudding mix |
11/2 cups whole milk or half-and-half |
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened (note: if you prefer a darker chocolate pie, use chocolate ice cream) |
topping |
8 ounce container cool whip, thawed |
garnish |
1 thick chocolate bar (such as hershey’s 5 ounce bar), shaved, for garnish (note: chocolate is easier to shave if it has been frozen for about 30 minutes before you begin) |
Directions:
1. For crust, combine graham cracker crumbs with sugar, and then add melted butter until well moistened.
2. Press into bottom of 10 inch deep dish pie plate.
3. Bake crust at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
4. Remove crust from oven and cool completely before filling.
5. For filling, combine both pudding mixes with milk, using an electric mixer.
6. Add softened ice cream and beat into pudding mixture.
7. Pour filling into cooled graham cracker crust.
8. Spread cool whip over filling.
9. With a potato peeler, run blade down the side of chocolate bar to create chocolate shavings/curls for top of pie - you will not need to shave the whole candy bar, just enough “curls” to use as a nice garnish for the top.
10. Cover pie and chill several hours before servings.
11. Keep leftovers refrigerated.
