Mix until the dough forms a ball. Roll it out and press it into a 9-inch pie plate. Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry shell with a fork. Pre-bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool before adding the filling.
Variations
This recipe is very versatile. You can substitute the pudding mix with any flavor you like. You can also swap out the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips for white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or peanut butter chips.
You can also add some chopped fresh fruit to the pie. Fresh strawberries, bananas, and pineapple are all delicious options.
For a crunchy topping, sprinkle some chopped nuts or toasted coconut over the pie before baking.
You can also use a graham cracker crust instead of a pastry shell for a fun twist.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is best served chilled, so make sure to let it cool completely before slicing. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for an extra special touch.
This pie is also delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream and warm pie are a heavenly combination.
