1/2 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups fruit cocktail
5 drops hot water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Force 1 large, firm cup of fruit through a large tea set; add pudding mix and juice. Using a pastry tip, create a single layer of pudding filling and pour in fruit cocktail. Use 1 tsp of hot water per layer, beginning with bottom.
Set aside. In oven-safe bowl, beat together 1/2 cup cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 1/2 cups milk until smooth. Fold in remaining 1/2 cup milk and pudding mix, and pour into prepared pastry shell.
Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until center is firm. Cool before serving.
