Ingredients
Units
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust
- 8 graham cracker sheets (16 squares) or 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup salted butter melted
Chocolate Filling
- 2/3 cup chocolate milk
- 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream melted
Topping & Garnish
- 1 (8 ounce) tub whipped topping
- Chocolate curls or mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a food processor, combine the graham cracker sheets, sugar, and melted butter. Blend until the crackers form fine crumbs.
- Form and Bake Crust: Transfer the crumb mixture into a pie plate. Press it firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form an even crust. Bake for 8 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Mix Chocolate Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth and slightly thickened. Gradually whisk in the melted vanilla ice cream until fully combined and creamy.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill Pie: Refrigerate the pie for 4 hours until the filling is completely set and firm.
- Add Topping and Garnish: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled chocolate filling. Garnish with chocolate curls or mini chocolate chips if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
- To melt vanilla ice cream easily, leave it at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or microwave on low power in short bursts.
- Use a store-bought graham cracker crust to save time if preferred.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute chocolate milk with whole milk chocolate or chocolate almond milk.
- Chilling time can be extended for a firmer set.
- Whipped topping alternatives like homemade whipped cream can be used for a fresher taste.
