Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 1 9 inch graham cracker pie crust
Filling
- 1 box (5.85 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 ½ cup milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Topping
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 3 mini Hershey bars (shaved, shredded, or chopped)
Instructions
- Measure Ingredients: Prepare all your ingredients by measuring them out to ensure a smooth and easy assembly process.
- Make Pudding Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Whip Cream: In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream for 3 to 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened pudding mixture. Beat for about 1 minute until fully incorporated, remembering to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure an even blend.
- Fill Crust: Pour the combined pudding and whipped cream mixture into the graham cracker pie crust, spreading it evenly for a smooth surface.
- Add Whipped Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chocolate pudding layer to cover it completely.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the shaved, shredded, or chopped mini Hershey bars over the whipped topping to add a decorative and chocolaty finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy every rich, creamy bite of this no-bake chocolate pie!
Notes
- For best results, chill the pie longer than 1 hour if time allows, ensuring a firmer texture.
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a chocolate cookie crust for a different flavor.
- Use full-fat milk for a richer pudding, but low-fat milk can be used for a lighter version.
- Whipped topping can be replaced with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
