In a bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream with chocolate pudding and mix with a hand mixer until thickened (mixture will be very thick) if needed add a splash of milk to thin it out.
Add half (8 ounces) of the whipped topping and fold it in with a spatula until combined.
Transfer the pudding mixture to the chocolate crust, and smooth out the top with a spatula. Top with the remaining whipped topping and chill until you’re ready to serve.
Decorate with chocolate chips or chocolate shavings if desired.
- Be sure to use instant pudding, not the cook-and-serve type.
- You can top the pie with fresh whipped cream if you like, but be sure to add it just before serving, otherwise, it may melt.
- Using a pre-made crust is a great shortcut, but you can also make your own Oreo or graham cracker crust for this pie.
- To Store: Keep this pie refrigerated and covered. It can be stored this way for up to 2 days.
- To Freeze: Wrap the pie very well and store it in the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator before serving, or enjoy it as a frozen dessert.
