1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup water
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 eggs
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (11 ounce) can sliced pecans
1 (3 ounce) package raspberry cream
1 (10 ounce) can cream cheese, softened
In a medium bowl, combine peas and pudding mix. In a separate bowl, blend water, melted butter and maple syrup, and mix together. Mix mixture with pecans. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese with lemon juice until smooth. Beat cream cheese mixture into peas mixture. Fold in pecans. Roll cups of crust into two (batter) baking pans. Place pecans on centers of each baking pan. Drizzle raspberry cream over pecans.
Bake in preheated oven until filling is set and bubbly, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven, tightly wrap edges of each pan with aluminum foil and remove foil. Pour 3/4 cup filling into each pan. Cool on waxed paper, then refrigerate for at least one hour to let filling set up. Chill at least 8 hours before serving. You can store the filling in glass jars in the refrigerator but it loses its crisp edges.
