Ingredients
1 pre-made chocolate cookie pie crust (9-inch)
2 cups whipped topping
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup cold milk
1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzle)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/4 cup crushed chocolate cookies (optional topping)
Instructions
Prepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and creamy.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Swirl in Caramel: Add the caramel sauce and lightly swirl it through the mixture for a marbled effect.
Add Texture: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallows for extra indulgence.
Assemble the Pie: Spoon the fluffy mixture into the chocolate cookie crust and smooth the top evenly.
Garnish: Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with crushed chocolate cookies if desired.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and chilled.
Serve: Slice, serve cold, and enjoy the rich, creamy layers!
Notes
Use cold milk for the pudding to ensure it thickens properly.
Fold ingredients gently to maintain the fluffy texture.
For a neater drizzle, warm the caramel sauce slightly before adding it.
Let the pie chill for the full 4 hours to ensure clean slices.
For extra crunch, add toasted nuts like pecans or almonds.
Healthier swaps: Use sugar-free pudding mix, light whipped topping, and reduced-fat sweetened condensed milk.
Dairy-free option: Substitute whipped topping and milk with coconut-based alternatives.
Cookie crust alternative: Use a graham cracker or gluten-free crust if preferred.
