Princess Pie

Try this dessert with any pudding flavor and omit the coconut and replace it with something complementary....like chopped nuts with chocolate pudding or bananas with vanilla pudding.  You might have a new potluck pleaser!

Princess Pie

crust:

• 2 Tbs sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup flour
• 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:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup whipped topping
• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

Beat together sugar and cream cheese.  Fold in whipped topping.  Spread on cooled crust.

Layer three:

• 1 1/2 cups whole milk (any milk will do, but whole milk makes pudding so much tastier)
• 1 small package coconut cream instant pudding

Mix until thickened.  Spread over cream cheese mixture.

Top with remaining tub of whipped topping.

Toast 1 cup coconut.  Sprinkle evenly on dessert.  Refrigerate.
