Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a small bowl, combine flour and melted margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the flour mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the whipped topping, softened cream cheese, and confectioners sugar until smooth.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, milk, and 1/2 cup of water until well combined and smooth.
  9. Pour the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading gently to cover.
  10. Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping.
  11. Refrigerate the pie for at least one hour, or until the layers are set and ready to serve.
