    Marie Callendar's Black Bottom Pie


    Source of Recipe

    List of Ingredients




    2 plain pastry pie crusts - (8" dia ea)
    = (store bought or make your own)
    1 box chocolate pudding -- cooking or instant
    1 box vanilla pudding -- cooking or instant
    1/4 teaspoon rum extract -- or to taste
    Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
    === OPTIONAL MERINGUE TOPPING ===
    4 egg whites
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
    8 tablespoons sugar

    Recipe



    Prepare chocolate and vanilla pudding according to directions in separate
    pans. Add rum extract to vanilla pudding and stir in. Pour half of
    chocolate pudding into each crust and spread evenly. Pour half of vanilla
    pudding on top of each chocolate layer and spread evenly, being careful
    not to mix the layers. Chill in fridge.

    Once chilled, top with regular whipped topping (like Cool Whip). For more
    of a restaurant effect put topping into a cake decorating bag with tip and
    pipe on.

    If you would prefer a meringue topping, beat egg whites, vanilla, and
    cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar beating until
    stiff, glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spread over hot filling,
    for that Marie Callender's effect leave a smidge of filling visible around
    the edge. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until meringue is
    golden. Chill in fridge.
