Possum Pie "plays possum" by hiding all of its creamy layers behind fluffy whipped cream and crunchy, nutty pecans. Those layers of cream cheese filling and chocolatey pudding—nestled atop a crumbly and rich graham cracker crust—are so sweet and smooth you'll wonder why anyone would want to hide them in the first place! As the unofficial state treat of Arkansas, Possum Pie will surprise you, not just with its filling but also with how quickly it becomes a favorite. It's possum (pronounced like awesome)!
