This dessert makes a cool and creamy finish to any meal. Since the pudding needs time to set, I usually start this first, then make the casserole and beans.—Rhonda Hogan, Eugene, Oregon

Ingredients

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1-3/4 cups milk, divided
2 cups whipped topping, divided
1 graham cracker crust ( 9 inches)

I made 3 of these pies and took them to one of the ambulance services I work at....they disappeared in a hurry and everyone begged me to make more! Thank you for never failing me :)

It was good - but nothing 'special'. I will probably make it again as a simple treat at home, but nothing that I would take to a party.

I used homemade pudding and it just didn't turn out the same. Definitely recommend using the instant pudding mix.
