Featuring a buttery graham cracker crust filled with smooth chocolate pudding mixed with whipped cream and topped with a fluffy whipped topping and shaved chocolate bars, it is perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings with minimal effort.


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

  1. Measure Ingredients: Prepare all your ingredients by measuring them out to ensure a smooth and easy assembly process.
  2. 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.
  3. Whip Cream: In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream for 3 to 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
  4. 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.
  5. Fill Crust: Pour the combined pudding and whipped cream mixture into the graham cracker pie crust, spreading it evenly for a smooth surface.
  6. Add Whipped Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chocolate pudding layer to cover it completely.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle the shaved, shredded, or chopped mini Hershey bars over the whipped topping to add a decorative and chocolaty finish.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and flavors to meld.
  9. 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.
