Description
A rich, layered, no-bake chocolate pie featuring a cookie crust, creamy chocolate filling, and whipped topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Combine chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add 1/2 cup milk and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold in half of the thawed whipped topping and the chopped pecans, if using.
- Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the chilled crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
Notes
- Use Oreo cookie crumbs instead of chocolate wafers for a different crust flavor.
- For a frozen version, freeze the pie for 4 hours after spreading the filling, then top with ice cream instead of whipped topping.
- You can substitute instant vanilla pudding mix and add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for a lighter chocolate flavor.
