You only thought you had great pie before.
My Baskin Robbins Pie is – well, out of this world really.
I first had it at a family reunion when I was a little kid. I never forgot how wonderful that pie was. When I grew up I learned how to make it.
Baskin Robbins Pie
Crust
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup pecans
Bake @ 350 for 12 min. Let cool completely before adding 4 layers
Layer 1
- 1 block cream cheese
- 1 tub cool whip
- 1 cup sugar
Layer 2
- vanilla pudding
Layer 3
- chocolate pudding
Layer 4
- cool whip topped with pecans
Serve chilled.
My arteries just screamed out in mortal fear, but I’m gonna make it anyway.
We call this recipe “Better Than Robert Redford” in my family. I know, what an embarrassing name, but it’s so so so good.
I like your name better than mine. I’m renaming the pie!
I told my grandma the name of your pie Violet.
She said, “Well, I have Robert Redford’s pie recipe and his is made with pistaccio pudding.”
So, now the name of your pie – chocolate versus pistaccio pudding in the pie makes sense.
It really is Better than Robert Redford Pie.
Too funny!
That sounds so delicious!
But I’m a little confused by the crust: why does it say 1 c. pecans then 1/2 c. pecans? Are the 2 amounts treated differently? (e.g. chopped fine/chopped coarse)
We have a ton of pecans this year so I’m collecting good recipes to use them up.
