Sunday Pie

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but I LOVE it! It is easy to put together and there is very little baking so it is perfect for summer when you don't want to heat your house up too much. But it is also creamy and chocolate, so it's perfect for any time!

I'm not sure why it's called Sunday Pie. It's not really a pie and we don't wait until Sunday to eat it. Who cares - it's delicious!

 

Sunday Pie

1/2 c. butter

1 c. flour

1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Mix ingredients together and press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. If you don't like walnuts or are worries about allergies, leave the nuts out. It works just fine without them. I rarely use nuts in the crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, just until it starts to turn golden brown. Cool.

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 c. powdered sugar

1 c. Cool Whip - you will need an entire 8 oz. container, the rest is saved for later

Mix these three together. I mix the sugar into the cream cheese until it is smooth and then add the Cool Whip. Spread carefully over crust. If you aren't a little careful, the crust will pull up off the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate.

2 small boxes chocolate pudding mix

3 c. cold milk

Mix together and pour over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until firm. Use the remainder of your Cool Whip to spread on top before serving. Use chocolate shavings or chocolate chips to garnish, if desired.
