Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5.85 ounces (166 grams) instant chocolate pudding
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) 2% milk
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (9-inch)
Cream and Topping:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) whipped cream
Garnish:
- 1 regular sized Hershey’s Chocolate Bar
Instructions
- Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2% milk in a spacious mixing bowl, following the package instructions to achieve a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Carefully transfer the prepared pudding into the pre-made graham cracker crust, using a spatula to distribute the mixture evenly across the surface.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator and allow it to chill and solidify for a minimum of 60 minutes, ensuring the pudding sets completely.
- Just before serving, generously layer freshly whipped cream across the top of the chocolate pudding, creating a soft, billowy blanket of creamy goodness.
- Elevate the dessert’s visual appeal by delicately shaving a Hershey’s Chocolate Bar over the whipped cream, creating elegant chocolate curls that add texture and rich flavor.
- Slice the pie into precise wedges, revealing the luscious layers of graham cracker, chocolate pudding, and cloud-like whipped cream, ready to delight your taste buds.
Notes
- Ensure milk temperature is cold for optimal pudding consistency, preventing lumps and achieving smooth texture.
- Gently fold whipped cream to maintain light, airy structure without deflating the delicate mixture.
- Customize pie by using dairy-free milk alternatives like almond or oat milk for lactose-intolerant guests.
- Enhance chocolate flavor by briefly toasting graham cracker crust before adding pudding for deeper, nuttier undertones.
