Ingredients

  • 1 frozen 9-inch pie crust (baked and cooled)
  • 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup thawed whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the frozen pie crust as per package instructions (10–12 minutes). Cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
  • Add heavy whipping cream to the pudding. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Spoon the pudding mixture into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the filling.
  • Chill the pie for at least 3 hours before serving.
  • Slice with a sharp knife, wiping between cuts for clean slices.

Notes

Ensure the pie crust is fully cooled before adding the filling to avoid melting the pudding.
For a homemade touch, use chilled whipped cream instead of store-bought.
Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
