Ingredients

For the Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch heaping
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2½ cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

For the Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Crust

  • 9 inch Oreo pie crust or your favorite homemade crust

Instructions

For the Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt. Add the the milk, egg yolks, and butter over medium heat and cook until thickened.
  • Remove from heat then stir in the vanilla. Pour the pudding into a 9" prebaked Oreo pie crust. Cover lightly and move to the fridge to set for at least 4 hours. I let mine chill overnight.

For the Whipped Cream

  • Once your chocolate pudding layer is firm, make the whipped topping.
  • To a cold mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and mix with a hand mixer on medium for 1-2 minutes (or whisk vigorously). Add in the sugar and vanilla extract and continue mixing until stiff peaks form. This should take 2-3 minutes.
  • Spread the whipped cream over the chocolate layer and top with grated chocolate shavings.

Notes

Use a premade Oreo crust or homemade Oreo, graham cracker, or traditional pie crust.
I use low fat 1% milk. 2% or whole milk will work as well. 
Cover gently and store in the fridge. 
Prepared pie can be covered and frozen for up to 3 months. Once ready to serve, move to the refrigerator to thaw.
