DESSERT STRIPED DELIGHT PUDDING CHEESECAKE PIE
from Jello Celebrating 100 years cookbook

I made this recipe and it made enough for 2 pies!

So divide it among 2 crusts.

2 pre-made graham cracker crusts (.30c x's 2 is .60c)
1/4 cup sugar (free)
2 Tablespoons milk
1 tub Cool Whip (.50c)
1 - 8ounce package cream cheese (.50c)
3.5 cups cold milk (.30c)
2 four serving packages chocolate pudding (.50c)
(I used chocolate with caramel chips Jello pudding)

Beat cream cheese, sugar and 2 tablespoons milk in a large bowl until smooth. Gently stir in half tub of whipped topping. Spread into crust. In a large bowl (I just reused bowl from above) whisk together 3.5 cups milk and pudding mixes. Pour over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 4 hours until set. Just before serving spread remaining cool whip topping over pudding.

It says it makes 12 servings but like I said I was able to make 2 pies from this so it was 24 servings for us.

TOTAL COST TO MAKE 2 PIES: $2.40 or $1.20 a pie divided by 24 servings is
.10 cents a serving.
