Calories: 280kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust – Store-bought and proud of it
  • 2 small boxes Jello chocolate pudding mix – The real MVP
  • 3 cups cold milk – Whole milk gives the creamiest results
  • 1 cup whipped topping – Optional but highly encouraged
  • Chocolate shavings or chips – For drama and crunch
  • Extra whipped topping – Because moderation is overrated

Instructions

  • Whisk the pudding.
  • In a large bowl, add the pudding mixes and cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until smooth and thick. It should look glossy and luxurious—not watery.
  • Let it set slightly.
  • Give the pudding 5 minutes to thicken up. This helps it hold its shape when you slice the pie later. Patience here pays off.
  • Fold in whipped topping.
  • Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture turns lighter and fluffier. Don’t overmix—this isn’t arm day.
  • Fill the crust.
  • Pour the pudding mixture into the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula like you know what you’re doing.
  • Chill.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully set. Overnight is even better if you’re planning ahead.
  • Decorate and serve.
  • Top with more whipped topping, chocolate shavings, or whatever makes you happy. Slice, serve, and accept compliments.
