Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and resemble wet sand.

  2. 2

    Form the crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Make sure to pack it tightly for a sturdy crust.

  3. 3

    Bake the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.

Filling

  1. 4

    Mix the cream cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.

  2. 5

    Add powdered sugar

    Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.

  3. 6

    Prepare the chocolate pudding

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens.

  4. 7

    Combine mixtures

    Fold the chocolate pudding into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

  5. 8

    Add whipped topping

    Gently fold in the whipped topping until the filling is light and fluffy.

  6. 9

    Fill the crust

    Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and spread evenly using a spatula.

  7. 10

    Chill the pie

    Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Topping

  1. 11

    Prepare the topping

    Before serving, sprinkle the chocolate shavings or chips evenly over the top of the pie. If desired, add chopped nuts for extra crunch.

  2. 12
