Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix pudding mix with gelatin and sugar in a saucepan.
- Blend in 1/2 cup of the water and the eggs.
- Add remaining water and cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in rum.
- Chill the mixture.
- Fold in whipped topping.
- Spoon into pie crust and chill until firm, about 2 hours.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a full-fat whipped topping instead of Dream Whip. If you want to reduce sugar, you can substitute it with a sugar alternative like stevia or erythritol. To enhance the flavor, add a splash of fresh lime juice or zest. Make sure to chill the mixture thoroughly before folding in the whipped topping for the best results.
Serving Suggestions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie will maintain its texture, but be mindful that the whipped topping may lose some volume over time. To serve again, simply slice and enjoy cold; there's no need to reheat this dessert.
