Equipment

  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Whisk
  • Refrigerator
  • 9-inch Pie Plate (implied by crust)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet Dream Whip mix approx. 0.75 ounces
  • 2 cups milk divided
  • 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix 3.5 ounces
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • 1.25 cups whipped topping like Cool Whip or similar (1 to 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tbsp chocolate shavings optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine one packet of Dream Whip mix with 1/2 cup of milk. Using an electric mixer, beat until it becomes light and fluffy with stiff peaks, similar to fresh whipped cream (this will take a few minutes). Set this aside for later.
  • In a separate, larger mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups of milk and the instant chocolate pudding mix. Keep whisking for about 2-3 minutes until the pudding powder is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to thicken beautifully.
  • Now, add your softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the thickening chocolate pudding mixture. Use your electric mixer again to beat everything together until it's wonderfully smooth and completely creamy.
  • Gently fold the prepared Dream Whip mixture into the chocolate pudding and cream cheese blend. Stir carefully until everything is perfectly combined and uniform, creating a light, mousse-like filling without any streaks.
  • Spoon this amazing chocolate filling evenly into your graham cracker crust. Now, the hardest part: patience! Pop it into the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours, or even better, overnight, to let it set up perfectly firm.
  • Right before you're ready to enjoy this dreamy pie, spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled chocolate filling. If you like, sprinkle a little magic with chocolate shavings on top. Slice into generous portions and serve up this easy, healthy-ish dessert!
