Ingredients

Scale

1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust
2 (3.9 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
8 oz whipped topping, thawed

Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate shavings, chocolate chips, or cocoa powder

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Chocolate Pudding

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until thick and smooth. Let sit for 2–3 minutes to fully set.

Step 2: Fold in the Whipped Topping

Gently fold half of the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined. This lightens the filling and creates a creamy, mousse-like texture.

Step 3: Fill the Crust

Pour the chocolate pudding mixture into the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top evenly with a spatula.

Step 4: Chill the Pie

Cover the pie loosely and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set and chilled.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, spread or pipe the remaining whipped topping on top. Garnish with chocolate shavings, chips, or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.

Notes

Use very cold milk for best pudding texture.
Fold gently to keep the filling light and fluffy.
Chill thoroughly for clean slices.
Do not use cook-and-serve pudding for this recipe.
