Ingredients

Scale

Pie Base

  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker pie crust

Pudding

  • 1 5.85 ounce box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • Milk as called for on pudding package (usually about 2 cups 2% milk)

Topping

  • 1 8 oz tub whipped cream
  • 1 1.55 ounce Hershey’s regular sized chocolate bar

Instructions

  1. Prepare pudding: Follow the package directions for the instant chocolate pudding mix, using the exact amount and type of milk specified to ensure the pudding sets properly.
  2. Layer pudding in crust: Pour slightly less than half of the prepared pudding into the bottom of the graham cracker pie crust, spreading evenly.
  3. Mix pudding and whipped cream: In a separate bowl, combine the remaining pudding with half of the whipped cream and stir gently until well blended.
  4. Add pudding layer: Spread this pudding and whipped cream mixture evenly over the first pudding layer in the pie crust.
  5. Add whipped cream topping: Spread half of the remaining whipped cream over the pudding layers to create a smooth topping.
  6. Garnish with chocolate: Use a potato peeler to shave thin chocolate curls from the Hershey’s chocolate bar and sprinkle them generously on top of the whipped cream.
  7. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour to let it set and chill before serving. Enjoy your creamy, chocolatey dessert!

Notes

  • Ensure you use instant pudding mix specifically for the best texture and quick setting.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of 2% milk if preferred.
  • Refrigerate longer than 1 hour for a firmer pie.
  • The pie crust is pre-made to simplify preparation, but a homemade graham cracker crust can be used as well.
  • Chocolate shavings can be replaced with mini chocolate chips or cocoa powder for garnish.
