The Ingredients You'll Need
To make this chocolate cream pie, you'll need:
- 1 9-inch chocolate pie crust
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or chips (for topping)
Preparing the Pie Crust
To make the chocolate crust, you can either buy a pre-made crust or make your own using crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. If you're making your own crust, mix together 1 1/2 cups of crushed chocolate cookies with 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Let the crust cool completely before filling.
Making the Filling
To make the filling, combine the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk in a bowl. Whisk together until the mixture thickens, then set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream mixture into the chocolate pudding mixture until fully incorporated.
Assembling the Pie
Once the filling is ready, pour it into the cooled chocolate crust. Smooth out the top with a spatula, then refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, top the pie with chocolate shavings or chips for added texture and flavor.
