Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Crust
- 1 box brownie mix (according to package instructions)
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Topping
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour the brownie batter into a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until set but not overcooked. Allow it to cool completely to form a firm crust.
- Make the Chocolate Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens. Let it set for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the cooled brownie crust, creating a smooth layer.
- Add the Whipped Topping: Dollop the whipped topping over the pudding layer and spread it evenly for a creamy finish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow all layers to set well. Slice and serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the brownie crust is completely cooled before adding pudding to prevent melting.
- You can use homemade brownies if preferred instead of a boxed mix.
- For extra garnish, sprinkle chocolate shavings or chopped nuts on top of the whipped topping.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
