Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring Cups
  • Liquid measuring cups

Ingredients

  • 1 Chocolate Cookie Crust Store bought or homemade
  • 1 box Instant chocolate pudding mix 5.9 oz box
  • 1 ½ cups Milk Very cold
  • 1 cup Whipped topping

Instructions

  • Whisk pudding mix and milk until thickened.
  • Fold in whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.
  • Spoon mixture into crust and smooth the top. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Plant based milks will not work in this recipe. You will need to get a specific pudding mix that says it will work for nondairy milk.  Most pudding mix need dairy milk to set properly.
  • Use really cold milk. Cold milk helps the pudding set up thick and fast, so pour it straight from the fridge.
  • Fold, don't stir. Gently fold in the whipped topping so you keep all that air in there. That's what gives the filling its light, fluffy texture.
  • Don't rush the chill. Give it the full 3 hours (overnight is even better) so it slices clean instead of slumping.
  • Dress it up before serving. Add extra whipped topping, chocolate shavings, or mini chocolate chips on top right before you serve for a bakery-style look.
