THE CLAIM
O.M.G.
Look at that picture.
This Taste of Home recipe doesn't need any more introduction than that. But, what if we told you that the recipe makes TWO pies? And claims to take only 20 minutes?
So glad to have you attention. : )

THE TEST
Guinea Pig Karen originally planned to make a meringue pie for Mother's Day, but when it didn't turn out, she had to come up with something fast. "It was super easy, and I had a lot of the ingredients in the house already." It was a good thing, too, because all testing subjects agree that it was DELISH!
Here are some tips from the Guinea Pig Kitchen:
- Hot fudge is now sold in microwaveable squeeze pouches, which makes consistent drizzling a lot easier.
- HOT FUDGE, not chocolate sauce. If you don't know the difference, we feel sorry for you.
- We actually recommend using 24oz of "frozen whipped topping" (aka Cool Whip) instead of 16oz. The extra volume adds a nice presentation factor.
- You can halve the recipe, but still use 12oz of Cool Whip instead of the recommended 8oz.
- For those of you not used to working with Cool Whip, remember to thaw it. You want it to be nice and soft when putting these pies together.
- When ready to serve, you will probably need to let it sit out for more than 5 minutes. Think 10-15 minutes.
CONCLUSION
AWESOME. A sure hit for your 4th of July Picnic.
