Make the perfect chocolate cream pie with instant pudding in just 15 minutes! This easy recipe uses Jello pudding mix and Cool Whip.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust (9-inch)
  • OR 1 prepared graham cracker crust
  • OR 1 prepared Oreo cookie crust

For the Filling:

 

  • 2 cups whole milk, cold
  • 2 (3.4-ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix (Jello brand preferred)
  • 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed, divided
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust: If using frozen pie crust, bake according to package directions. Cool completely on wire rack (about 30 minutes). If using pre-made crust, skip this step.
  • Make the pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cold milk and both packages of pudding mix on low speed for exactly 2 minutes. The mixture should be thick and smooth.
  • Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in 1 cup of the thawed Cool Whip until completely combined. Don’t overmix.
  • Assemble the pie: Pour pudding mixture into the cooled crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap (press directly onto surface to prevent skin forming).
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

 

  • Finish and serve: Just before serving, spread remaining Cool Whip over the top. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and chocolate shavings if desired.
