Ingredients

Step by Step Instructions

Combine both packages of pudding with cold milk. Stir with a whisk until thickened and well combined-about one minute. The mixture will be very thick. Add a splash or two of milk if needed to combine well. Spoon half of this mixture into pie shell.

To remaining pudding, add half the whipped topping. Stir until well combined. Mixture will be much easier to work with. Spoon into pie shell over the other pudding layer.

Finally, layer the rest of the whipped topping on top of the pudding. Top with mini chips, if desired.

Can be served immediately, or refrigerate to serve later.

Expert Tips

If you plan to make a day ahead, add the whipped topping layer right before serving.

Use whole milk or 2% milk for best results. Lower fat milk will not be as thick.

Try other toppings like crushed or whole Oreo cookies, sprinkles, or even chocolate syrup. Let your imagination go wild!

Use homemade or canned whipped cream in place of whipped topping.

Refrigerate leftovers and enjoy within 2 days.
