Ingredients
1 (5.85 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix

1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
1 (1.55 oz) Hershey’s chocolate bar (for shavings)
Instructions
-
Make the Pudding
In a medium bowl, prepare the instant chocolate pudding using cold 2% milk as directed on the box. Make sure to use instant pudding—not cook-and-serve. -
Create the Base Layer
Pour a little less than half of the prepared pudding into the graham cracker crust and spread it evenly. -
Whip the Middle Layer
Mix the remaining pudding with half of the whipped cream. Stir until fully combined and creamy. -
Add to the Pie
Spoon this pudding-whipped cream mixture over the first layer in the pie crust. -
Top It Off
Use half of the remaining whipped cream to spread a smooth final layer on top of the pie. -
Garnish
Using a vegetable peeler or small knife, shave chocolate curls from the Hershey’s bar and sprinkle them over the top. -
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Be sure to use instant pudding, not cook-and-serve.
For cleaner slices, chill the pie for 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
You can swap the graham cracker crust for an Oreo crust for extra chocolate flavor.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
