Jim Hitchcock's Possum Pie
Jim Hitchcock, a very good blog friend, frequent commenter and putative liberal (though he isn't really as liberal as he would like you to think, nor is he as conservative as I would like him to be> made a suggestion in a previous post regarding holiday fare. To whit:
Succulent opposum, stewed in its own juices. Sure to be greedily consumed, ironically enough, by beer infused college football fans stewed in their own juices.Now, you never know when Jim is kidding, he has such a dry sense of humor, when he is dry that is. So, I took it on myself to hunt up a receipe for Possum Pie that even Jim would go for:
POSSUM PIE
Cream together:
1 1/2 sticks of butter
2 c. flour
1 c. chopped pecans
Press mixture into a 9 x 13 inch ungreased baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until bottom is browned. Cool before proceeding to next layer.
SECOND LAYER:
Cream together:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 sm. container Cool Whip
1 c. powdered sugar
Spread mixture on top of 1st layer.
THIRD LAYER:
Mix together:
1 sm. pkg. chocolate instant pudding
1 sm. pkg. butter pecan instant pudding
3 c. milk
1 c. powdered sugar
Spread on top of 2nd layer.
TOP LAYER:
Top off with another small container of Cool Whip and garnish with pecan pieces. Excellent recipe for the holidays!
Wow! As Lloyd Bridges would have said, I picked a bad day to stop smoking pot!
