Chocolate Filling
- 2/3 cup chocolate milk
- 3.4 ounce package instant chocolate pudding
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream melted

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare Crust Mixture: Place the graham cracker sheets, sugar, and melted butter into a food processor and blend until the crackers become fine crumbs.
- Form Crust: Transfer the crumb mixture into a pie plate and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form an even crust.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 8 minutes, or until it turns a light golden brown, then allow it to cool completely.
- Mix Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the chocolate milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth.
- Add Melted Ice Cream: Pour the melted vanilla ice cream into the pudding mixture and whisk thoroughly to combine evenly.
- Fill Pie: Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top.
- Chill Pie: Refrigerate the pie for 4 hours or until it is completely set and firm.
- Add Topping: Spread an even layer of whipped topping over the chilled pudding filling.
- Garnish: Optionally, decorate the top with chocolate curls or mini chocolate chips for added texture and appearance.
Notes
- You can use a store-bought graham cracker crust as a quick alternative.
- Make sure the vanilla ice cream is fully melted before mixing to create a smooth filling.
- For best results, refrigerate the pie overnight to allow full setting of the filling.
- Use high-quality chocolate milk and pudding mix for richer flavor.
- To make the crust gluten free, substitute graham crackers with gluten free cookies or crumbs.
