Ingredients

Scale


For the Crust:

  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Oreo or chocolate graham crackers)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup hot cocoa mix

For Topping:

  • 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  3. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set.

2. Make the Filling:

  1. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, whole milk, and hot cocoa mix until thickened (about 2 minutes).
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until smooth and fluffy.

3. Assemble the Pie:

  1. Pour the filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly.
  2. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

4. Add Toppings and Serve:

  1. Just before serving, spread or pipe whipped cream over the top of the pie.
  2. Garnish with mini marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or sprinkles for a festive touch.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: This pie can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Add toppings just before serving.
  • Crust Alternative: Use a pre-made chocolate pie crust for convenience.
  • Flavor Twist: Add a pinch of cinnamon or peppermint extract to the filling for a seasonal variation.
