Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreos (or graham crackers) with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Place in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Make the Chocolate Filling
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate and pudding mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
Step 4: Make the Whipped Topping
- Beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
- Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or chocolate curls for an elegant finish.
- Slice and serve chilled for a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth experience!
