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 Robert Redford Pie.
The recipe is always
requested when I take it to a potluck or family gatherings.
I have included a Cream Cheese Banana Split Pie recipe.
Make it with instant puddings and
bananas.
Top with Homemade Whipped Cream, pecans and Maraschino
Cherries.
Then drizzle the top with yummy, Homemade Chocolate Sauce.
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.
Mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar on low to medium speed in a 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.
Mix puddings according to directions on package.
Spread on chilled cream cheese layer.
Spread on pudding layer and chill several hours or overnight.
Cut into squares and serve.
Store leftovers in refrigerator.
Make crust per instructions above.
Bake and cool on rack in pan.
Layer Cream Cheese filling, prepared Chocolate Filling, then Vanilla Filling in that order, on top of crust.
Arrange a layer of the sliced bananas on top of the Vanilla Pie Filling.
Spread the Homemade Whipped Cream over bananas.
Sprinkle with Pecans and Cherries. Drizzle Chocolate Syrup over all.
Refrigerate several hours before serving.
Refrigerate any leftovers if you have them.
William Lawrence an American dairy man living in Chester, New York, accidently stumbled upon a way to make cream cheese in 1872.
Mr. Lawrence was actually trying to reproduce a French cheese called Neufchatel.
Two years later, William Lawrence started calling his newly developed cream cheese by the name Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese.
