Chocolate Pie (an easy five minute recipe)

Ingredients:

one chocolate pie crust (I like Oreo)

one 8 oz. tub of Cool Whip

one box Hershey’s chocolate instant pudding

3/4 cup milk

one small Hershey’s bar (fun size)

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until combined. Next fold in 1/3 of the Cool Whip. After that is well mixed, fold in another 1/3 of the Cool Whip. (Leaving 1/3 of the tub for the top layer.) Fill the pie crust with the pudding/Cool Whip mixture.
Put the remaining Cool Whip into a Ziplock bag (you can use a tip if you have one) and snip off the corner to make a piping bag. You could use a traditional piping bag, but using a plastic bag is easier to clean up. Pipe swirls all over the top and fill in the nooks and crannies between with a simple dot to make peaks. You could easily just use a spatula and spread it on, but piping keeps the layers separated much better.
Use a grater to add chocolate shavings all over the top. Then you have two options: refrigerator or freezer. My family likes it both thawed and frozen… so try it both ways. Either way is delicious, but make sure you let it set for about an hour before serving.
