Chocolate Pudding Pie

I randomly came across this recipe right before Thanksgiving and decided to give it a try and bring it with us to my parents house.  IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD and it was super simple to make.  We couldn't get enough and I already have a second one chilling in my refrigerator right now.  I didn't snap a pic of the pie as a whole, so take this slice pic as my promise that it is INCREDIBLE!

Here's What You'll Need...

- 1 oreo pie crust

- Two 9-oz boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix

- 1 pint half and half

- 1 tub cool whip (you can use the regular size tub... all my store had was the giant one)

- chocolate to use for shavings

Here's What You'll Do...

- Pour the half and half into the two packages of pudding mix and whisk until combined.  I panicked a little bit because mine looked a little thick and like all the mix didn't dissolve BUT IT WAS FINE!  Refrigerate it for about 5 minutes so it can set a bit.

- Put half of the pudding mixture into the crust

- Mix half the tub (the regular size tub not the small one) into the remaining half of the pudding mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until it's combined.  

- Spread the cool whip/pudding mixture on the first layer and then top the whole thing with cool whip and sprinkle on some chocolate shavings.  

- Chill for about 4 hours (or overnight), cut and serve chilled.

I really can't even explain how delish this was.  I was skeptical but it was PERFECTION!  Make this for Christmas! Make this for this weekend!  Make it NOW and thank me later ;)

HAPPY Thursday, friends!!!
