Chocolate Creme Pie



Ingredients (for two pies):
- 3 small packages of chocolate pudding (non-instant)
- 6 cups of whole milk
- 1 pt of heavy whipping cream
- 2 pie shells (shortbread or graham cracker)
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Total cook time - 30 minutes. Cooling time - 3-4 hrs
Directions-
First prepare the chocolate pudding. Follow the recipe on the box for pie filling (~25 minutes) - use the 6 cups of milk. After 5 minutes of cooling, pour into the pie shells. Fill until about 1/4 inch of shell remains. Let stand until cool to the touch (about 45 minutes). Cover with saran wrap by placing it right on top of the pudding to avoid condensation and an unappetizing skin forming on the pie. Replace plastic pie shell top and put in fridge for 3 hours. About 20 minutes before serving, pour the pint of heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl. Add 2-3 teaspoons of sugar (if unsure, start with 2 and taste when almost done). Add the vanilla extract and mix on high with a hand mixer until the cream is almost whipped completely. Taste and add more sugar if necessary. If not, whip until the correct consistency. Divide the cream over the two pies, serve, and enjoy!
