Description

This No-Bake Chocolate Pudding Pie combines creamy instant chocolate pudding with a crunchy graham cracker crust, topped with fluffy whipped cream and optional chocolate garnishes. Perfect for a quick and easy dessert, it requires no baking and only minimal prep time, making it ideal for warm weather or when you want a simple yet indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust

Pudding Layer

  • 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold whole milk

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
  • Chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold whole milk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and is smooth.
  2. Pour pudding into crust: Pour the thickened pudding evenly into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust, then use a spatula to smooth the top surface for an even layer.
  3. Chill to set pudding: Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding layer to firm up properly.
  4. Make the whipped cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a mixer until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream holds shape well.
  5. Top pie with whipped cream: Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled pudding layer, creating a smooth topping.
  6. Add toppings and final chill: Sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips or garnish with chocolate shavings or curls on top if desired. Chill the assembled pie in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to let all layers set before serving.

Notes

  • You can use a chocolate cookie crust instead of graham cracker for a richer chocolate flavor and texture.
  • For added texture and flavor contrast, sprinkle chopped nuts or crushed cookies on top of the whipped cream layer before serving.
