    1 [Pie Crust]
  • Place one disc in plastic wrap and in a freezer bag and store in the freezer for another time.
  • Roll out the second dough in the 9" pie plate, crimp the edges and dock, or in other words, poke with a fork all over the inside and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Allow to cool while you prepare the filling.

For the filling:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding and milk.
    2 Package Chocolate Fudge Pudding, 1 Cup Whole Milk, 1 Cup Chocolate Milk

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
    8 Ounces Cream Cheese

    14 Ounce Can Sweetened Condensed Milk

  • Place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour before serving.
  • Pipe the whipped cream and using a peeler, shave chocolate all over the top.

  • Let the gelatin sit for 5 minutes without stirring.

Notes

We prefer to make a homemade crust and dock it, or poke it with a fork all over inside, add parchment and pie weights and bake, but purely docking the crust will work too.
Pie should be kept in the refrigerator.
