Miss. Hope's White Trash Pudding
1 pre-made fresh pecan pie (you can buy one from the bakery instead of making)
1 large container of Cool Whip
1 small container of Cool Whip (you can use fat-free or extra creamy)
1/4 cup of finely chopped pecans
Caramel (the kind that comes is the squirt bottle for ice cream)
In a large mixing bowl, dump the pecan pie. Using your hands...mix until like a pile of goo.
**note...utensils won't mix well enough...gotta use the hands
Mix in the creamy Cool Whip until it turns a caramel color. Then mix in the large container of Cool Whip.
Pour in a serving bowl and smooth.
Use left over Cool Whip on top to give it a nice white look.
Sprinkle pecans sparingly on top.
Use caramel to make criss-cross or zig-zag designs. You could even write someones name if you like.
This recipe came for my good friend Hope...She says take this on to a get-together and refuse to divulge the ingredients. Everyone loves it and best of all...it's easy!
