Ingredients

  • 1 (6 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/3 cups cold milk
  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 graham cracker pie crust, ready-made
  • 1 (8 ounce) carton Cool Whip
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Method

  • Beat pudding and milk together until it is smooth and begins to thicken.
  • Add ice cream and vanilla and mix well.
  • Pour evenly divided into pie crusts.
  • Add a layer of Cool Whip and sprinkle half the chocolate chips on each pie.
  • Refrigerate until serving time or freeze (especially if you plan to take it somewhere). Don't let it set out too long before serving. Cut into 6-8 slices while the filling is still firm.
  • VARIATION: Try vanilla pudding with strawberry ice cream; top with Cool Whip, sliced strawberries, and chocolate chips.
