Bishop Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 3 cups whipped topping
  • 3 packages instant chocolate pudding
  • 3 cups milk


Method 

Melt butter; stir in flour and 1 cup of the nuts. Continue stirring until a thick paste is formed, with no flour lumps. Press into bottom of a 13x10-baking pan and bake 15 min at 375°F. Cool. Prepare first layer of filling by combining cream cheese, sugar, and 1 cup 
whipped topping. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed for 2-3 min. Spoon into cooled crust, then smooth with spatula. Combine pudding and milk in the mixing bowl used for the first filling. Beat well, then pour over the cream cheese layer. As soon as the chocolate layer firms up a bit, spoon on more whipped topping, smoothing and adding until there is an additional half inch layer above the chocolate. Sprinkle with remaining pecans and chill for at least 3 hours.
