Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the chocolate pudding with 1 1/2 cups of milk and let set for 5 minutes.
- Fold in Cool Whip and peanut butter cups.
- Pour the mixture into the graham cracker pie shell.
- Replace the plastic cover of the pie crust and freeze overnight.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture. If you don't have graham cracker crust, any pre-made pie crust will work. You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option. For a fun twist, fold in crushed Gina'S Chocolate Balls for added texture and taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled for the best flavor. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an elegant touch. This dessert pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a special occasion, consider serving it alongside a slice of Cheese Cake Surprise.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in the freezer, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. To enjoy later, let the pie thaw in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. Avoid refreezing once thawed to maintain the best texture.
