Ingredients
Scale
1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9 inch)
1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk (whole or 2%)
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package directions, using 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk for two minutes until slightly thickened.
Gently fold half of the thawed whipped topping into the prepared chocolate pudding until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Spread half of the chocolate pudding mixture evenly into the bottom of the graham cracker crust.
Arrange half of the sliced strawberries over the pudding layer.
Spoon the remaining chocolate pudding mixture over the strawberries.
Top the pie with the remaining sliced strawberries.
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top layer of strawberries.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can substitute a chocolate wafer crust for the graham cracker crust for a different flavor base.
For a richer chocolate flavor, use chocolate milk instead of plain milk when preparing the pudding.
Slice the strawberries just before assembling the pie to keep them fresh.
