Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 7.8 ounces chocolate flavored instant pudding and pie filling two 3.9 ounce packages
  • 2 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped German chocolate bar
  • 1 cup additional whipped topping thawed
  • Chocolate ganache for drizzling

Chocolate Ganache

  • 6 ounces semi sweet chocolate finely chopped
  • 6 ounces heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • PREHEAT: the oven to 350°F.
  • MIX: the crust. In a bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups chocolate wafer crumbs, 5 tablespoons melted butter, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar. Stir until well moistened.
  • PRESS: the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie dish.
  • BAKE: for 8 minutes until the crust is set. Cool completely.
  • WHISK: the filling. In a large bowl, whisk 2 ¾ cups buttermilk, the 7.8 ounces of pudding mix, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for 1 to 2 minutes, until thickened.
  • FOLD: in 8 ounces whipped topping and ½ cup chopped German chocolate.
  • POUR: the filling into the cooled crust. Cover tightly and FREEZE for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • SOFTEN: the pie by letting it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.
  • SPREAD: 1 cup whipped topping over the top. DRIZZLE with chocolate ganache.
  • MAKE THE GANACHE: Add 6 ounces chopped semi sweet chocolate to a microwave safe bowl. Pour 6 ounces heavy cream over it. Microwave for 1 minute. Let rest 5 minutes. WHISK until smooth.

Notes

Make Ahead: This pie must freeze at least 8 hours. It can be made 2 days ahead.
Storage: Keep tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Serving Tip: Remove from the freezer early so the filling softens enough to slice cleanly.
Variation: Swap chocolate wafer crumbs for Oreo crumbs for a richer crust.
