I've had pies similar to this, at restaurants, and decided I could probably come up with my own version. It is so simple and no baking is required so great to make on a hot day. You do have to toast the nuts that you use..but it's only for 10 minutes.
NEED:
1 pre made graham cracker crust
1 box of instant chocolate pudding
1 tub whipped topping
4 ounces of cream cheese - the whipped works great for this
1/4 cup coarsely chopped nuts - pecans are great in this..but use your favorite
10 ounces of carmel sauce - like you use to make sundaes
1 frozen chocolate candy bar
Pre heat oven to 300 degrees. Spread the chopped nuts on a cookie sheet, in a single layer, and roast for 10 minutes. By roasting them it keeps them from becoming soggy in the pie. When done, remove and allow to cool.
Spread the cream cheese in the bottom of the pie crust - if it does not spread well run the back of a teaspoon under hot water and use it to spread the cream cheese.
Top cream cheese with the carmel sauce and spread it to the edges of the cream cheese.
Top carmel sauce with the toasted nuts.
Top all this with the pudding and then top the pudding with the whipped topping. Make sure both are spread to touch the crust.
Using a grater, grate chocolate over the top of the whipped topping. By freezing the candy bar it will be much easier to grate. You can also use a veggie peeler to make chocolate curls. You can also reserve some of the toasted nuts and sprinkle them on top.
Chill in fridge for at least 3 hours.
**you can use sugar free and fat free items for this and it is still yummy.**
ENJOY!
