Cream Cheese Pie

Cream Cheese Pie is an old fashioned recipe of cream cheese filling layered with instant chocolate pudding and butterscotch pudding in a butter pecan crust and topped with whipped cream.

Originally, this scrumptious pie was called the Robert Redford Pie. I never found out why so I dropped the name.

It's always requested when I go to potluck or family gatherings.

Also, included below is a Cream Cheese Banana Split Pie recipe.

It is made with instant puddings and bananas, and topped with whipped cream, chopped pecans and Maraschino Cherries. Then drizzled with chocolate syrup. Yummy!

Butter Pecan Crust

1 cup self-rising flour

1 stick butter, softened

1 cup chopped pecans

Mix together flour, butter, and pecans until crumbly.

Press into the bottom of a buttered 9" x 13" baking pan.

Bake in a preheated 350 F. oven for about 8 minutes or until just lightly browned. Set aside to cool.

Cream Cheese Pie - First Layer

16 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

8 oz. frozen whipped cream, thawed

Mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar on low to medium speed in mixer. High speed whips too much air into the filling.

Fold in whipped cream and spread on thoroughly cooled crust. Refrigerate and chill about one hour.

Chocolate Pudding - Second Layer

3 1/2 cups cold milk

1 package instant chocolate pudding mix

1 package instant butterscotch pudding mix (do not substitute)

Mix puddings according to directions on package. Spread on chilled cream cheese layer.

Topping

8 oz. frozen whipped cream, thawed

Spread on pudding layer and chill several hours or overnight. Cut into squares and serve.
