from: Life With Lorelai
Type: Dessert
Ingredients:
1- 5.1 oz. box Jell-O Vanilla Instant Pudding
1- 11 oz. bag (approx. 1-1/2 cups) Kraft Caramel Bits
1/4 cup Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme
2 teaspoons Heavy Cream
1-1/2 cups Milk (cold)
1- Pie Crust (baked or ready-to-eat).
NOTES: Save out a few Kraft Caramel Bits for garnishing the finished pie. You will use the rest of the Heavy Cream to make whipping cream for pie decoration and / or serving. Use whatever type of pie crust you desire.
OPTIONAL: Shave some Baker's Premium White Chocolate to garnish the finished pie.
Directions:
Melt Kraft Caramel Bits with 2 teaspoons Heavy Cream in a double boiler
Pour melted caramel into a bowl
Add Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme and combine (leaving some streaks is just fine)
Add Pudding Mix to a large bowl
Add cold Milk
Whisk briskly for 2 minutes
Add Caramel Mixture to the Pudding
Mix well. (If caramel has cooled too much, heat in microwave for 15 seconds at a time, until it is soft enough to combine).
Pour pie filling into baked or ready-to-eat Pie Crust
Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours
Whip Heavy Cream into Whipping Cream
Pipe Whipped Cream onto pie as desired for decoration. (I used a zippered plastic bag with a whole cut in one corner as my piping bag).
Top whipped cream with the set aside Kraft Caramel Bits
Top pie with strips and curls of Baker's Premium White Chocolate
Notes
Holiday Baking Hack! Use a Vegetable Peeler to shave Chocolate Bars into Strips and Curls.
This recipe is inspired by the movie Christmas With the Kranks -- a MUST SEE for any holiday movie watch list.
