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.
