Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs about 24 chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted

For the Filling:

  • 2 box instant chocolate pudding mix 3.9 oz each
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 container Cool Whip 8 oz, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Cool Whip or whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings, mini marshmallows, or chocolate sauce

Instructions
 

  • Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated with butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
  • Gently fold in the melted chocolate chips and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the filling is light, creamy, and fully combined.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  • Before serving, spread or pipe additional Cool Whip or whipped cream over the top of the pie, if desired. Garnish with chocolate shavings, mini marshmallows, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Slice and enjoy!
