Devil’s Food Pie

from my mom

Crust:
Note: You can use chocolate grahams or oreos if desired
For graham crust:
1 pkg graham crackers (about 10)
6 Tbsp butter, melted
3 Tbsp sugar
Put graham crackers in large ziploc bag and crush to desired crumbliness with rolling pin.
Add sugar and shake in bag. Pour into bowl with melted butter. Mix quickly with fork until all crumbs are coated.

Put into pie dish and press up sides with finger tips.

Bottom Layer:

8 oz cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 container of Cool Whip (8 oz)

Mix cream cheese and sugar with mixer. Add cool whip. Put in pie shell (chocolate or graham crust if you don't have chocolate).

Top layer:
1 small pkg devil’s food instant pudding (must be devil's food)
1 1/2 cups milk
2 Tbsp sour cream
Mix well with mixer until it thickens slightly.

Add some Cool Whip,but not all of the remainder. Mix again until thick. Pour over cream cheese layer.

If desired, you can add coconut, chopped nuts, or mint between the layers.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For a pretty addition, serve with chocolate curls on top.
