Ingredients
Pudding Layer
- 2 (3.9 oz) boxes Jell-O Instant Chocolate Pudding
- 2½ cups cold milk (2% or whole)
Whipped Topping Layer
- 8 oz tub Cool Whip
Pie Crust and Decoration
- 1 (6 oz) chocolate cookie pie crust
- Chocolate bar (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until well combined and thickened. This usually takes about 2 minutes.
- Layer Bottom Pudding: Spoon half of the prepared chocolate pudding evenly into the bottom of the chocolate cookie pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Mix Whipped Topping and Pudding: Add half of the Cool Whip tub to the remaining pudding in the bowl. Stir gently until the mixture is well combined and becomes light and fluffy.
- Layer Whipped Pudding: Spoon the whipped topping and pudding mixture evenly over the layer of plain pudding in the crust and spread with a spatula for a smooth finish.
- Add Final Whipped Topping Layer: Spoon the remaining Cool Whip evenly on top of the second pudding layer. For an elegant touch, shave chocolate from a chocolate bar over the top as decoration, if desired.
- Chill Pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.
Notes
- Use cold milk to help the pudding set properly.
- For a firmer pie, allow chilling for longer than 2 hours.
- Chocolate shavings on top add a nice decorative touch but are optional.
- Substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- This pie is best enjoyed within 2 days of preparation.
