This chocolate cream pie is easy to make, thanks to Dream Whip, instant pudding, and a store-bought graham cracker crust. It's light, creamy, and perfect for sharing!
1tablespoonchocolate shavings(optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the contents of one packet of Dream Whip mix with 1/2 cup of milk. Using an electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks form (this will take a few minutes), then set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk with the instant chocolate pudding mix. Whisk together until the pudding mix is dissolved and the mixture is beginning to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Add softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the chocolate pudding mixture, then use electric mixer to beat together until smooth.
Fold the Dream Whip mixture into the chocolate pudding mixture until fully combined and no streaks remain.
Spread the chocolate filling into graham cracker crust, then refrigerate for 4-6 hours (or overnight).
Just before serving, spoon the whipped topping over the chocolate filling, spreading evenly. Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped topping, then slice and serve.
Notes
I use a store-bought graham cracker crust for ease, but you can make your own if you prefer.
For the whipped topping layer that's added at the end, you can use Cool Whip (or similar), or you can use another packet of Dream Whip mix beaten together with 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
