INGREDIENTS

For the Chocolate Pudding Layer

1 cup granulated sugar

4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons cornstarch heaping

2 large egg yolks

2½ cups milk

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

pinch salt

For the Whipped Cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Crust

9 inch Oreo pie crust or your favorite homemade crust

INSTRUCTIONS

For the Chocolate Pudding Layer

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt. Add the the milk, egg yolks, and butter over medium heat and cook until thickened.

Remove from heat then stir in the vanilla. Pour the pudding into a 9" prebaked Oreo pie crust. Cover lightly and move to the fridge to set for at least 4 hours. I let mine chill overnight.

For the Whipped Cream

Once your chocolate pudding layer is firm, make the whipped topping.

To a cold mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and mix with a hand mixer on medium for 1-2 minutes (or whisk vigorously). Add in the sugar and vanilla extract and continue mixing until stiff peaks form. This should take 2-3 minutes.

Spread the whipped cream over the chocolate layer and top with grated chocolate shavings.
