Spiff's Chocolate Pudding Pie

Spiff is making dessert for after dinner tonight. Here is the recipe he is using, based on what we had available at home:

Chocolate Pudding Pie

1 Oreo crumb crust (purchased on clearance at the grocery store)
1 recipe chocolate pudding*
1 (3.9 oz) box Vanilla chocolate chip instant pudding
1 cup milk
1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip, thawed
Chocolate shavings

* Chocolate Pudding
1/2 c sugar
3 heaping TBSP baking cocoa
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 tsp salt
2 3/4 cup milk

1. Combine sugar, baking cocoa, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir in milk. Heat over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil 1 minute.

2. Place 1 1/2 cups of chocolate pudding in crust. Let cool in refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Put remainder of chocolate pudding in Dixie cups and place in freezer for fudgecicles.

3. Combine milk with instant pudding mix and beat for 2 minutes. Fold in half of Cool Whip. Spread pudding mixture on top of chocolate pudding in crust.

4. Spread remaining Cool Whip on pudding mixture. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Chill 3-4 hours.

Enjoy!
