Ingredients
Scale:
1 ¾ cups Chocolate graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Unsalted butter, melted
2 cups Heavy cream
½ cup Powdered sugar
8 oz Cream cheese, softened
1 box (3.9 oz) Chocolate pudding mix (instant)
1 cup Milk
As desired Chocolate shavings or whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the instant chocolate pudding mix. Gradually add in the milk while mixing until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to keep that airy texture.
Spoon the creamy chocolate filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
