Published: Friday, December 3, 2021
3.4 oz. box instant vanilla pudding
¼ c. yellow or white cake mix (dry mix)
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
4 (9") uncooked pie crusts
Egg wash (optional):
1 large egg
1 Tbsp. water
Glaze:
1 c. powdered sugar
2 to 4 Tbsp. milk
Christmas sprinkles
If using an oven, preheat oven to 400°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding, cake mix, milk and vanilla until smooth. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the pudding mix to the cream cheese and blend together until well combined.
Gently unroll each pie crust and cut off the rounded edges making one large square. Cut each square in half to create a large rectangle. Spoon the filling into the center of each square and fold the dough over. Seal the edges by pressing a fork along all 4 sides of square.
Beat egg and water in a small bowl. Brush over the tops of each pie. Transfer pies to prepared baking sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until a golden brown. —8 pies.
