Chocolate Cream Pie


I'm sure you're familiar with Chocolate Dream Pie. Most everyone I know has made this delicious pie using the recipe on the back on the Dream Whip box. I know it's always been one of our favorite pie recipes. But, you know me...I always have to tweak a recipe to fit the taste buds of my family. We like it to be a bit more rich than the original recipe calls for.

Chocolate Cream Pie
2 envelopes Dream Whip Whipped Topping Mix
3  cups cold milk, divided
2 tsp vanilla
3 pk (4 serving size) chocolate instant pudding
1 graham cracker crust

Beat whipped topping mixes and 1 cup of milk and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed 6 minutes or until topping thickens and forms peaks.

Add remaining 2 cups of milk and pudding mixes. 
Beat on low speed 2 minutes.
Then beat on high speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. 
Pie filling will be thick. 

Spread pie filling in to graham cracker crust. 
Place in refrigerator until cold and pie filling has set.
Or if your in a hurry to serve, place in the freezer for 20 minutes. 

Top with whipped topping and serve! 



You can use just about any instant pudding mix flavor that you chose. 
This pie recipe is also delicious with coconut flavor pudding mix with 1/2 - 1 cup of shredded coconut added when you add the pudding mixes and milk.
Or another good one is banana flavor pudding, and add slices of bananas to the bottom of the pie crust.
You may want to use a dough crust for that one though.
Oh, and Pistachio pudding...you can use it also! Yum!
The pudding options are endless!!
