Decadent Triple Layer Mud Pie

By littlefish

This indulgent no-bake pie features 3 different chocolate layers--one rich with semi-sweet chocolate and pecans, the second made from classic chocolate pudding and the third composed of chocolate pudding lightened with whipped topping. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 squares (1 oz. each) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
• 1 Keebler® Ready Crust® Chocolate Pie Crust
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted*
• 2 cups cold milk
• 2 packages (4-serving size) chocolate flavor instant pudding & pie filling
• 1 tub (8 oz.) frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed, divided

Preparation

Step 1

1. In medium bowl whisk together sweetened condensed milk and chocolate until smooth. Carefully spread in crust. Lightly press pecans into chocolate mixture. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

2. In large bowl beat milk and pudding mix with wire whisk about 1 minute. (Mixture will be thick.)

3. Spread 1 1/4 cups of pudding over nuts. Whisk half of whipped topping into remaining pudding. Spread over pudding in crust. Top with remaining whipped topping.

4. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set. Garnish as desired. Store in refrigerator.

*NOTE: To toast pecans, spread evenly on baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring once or twice
