    • Make the Pudding. Mix the instant pudding with whole milk until smooth and creamy. Since this is a pie filling, the pudding will be thick.
    • Add Heavy Cream. Pour a cup of heavy cream into the pudding and mix until light and fluffy. There’s no need to whip the cream before adding it to the filling.
    • Chill for 30 Minutes. Spread the filling into a chocolate crumb crust and chill the pie for 30 minutes.
    • Top with Whipped Cream. This pie tastes great topped with whipped cream or whipped topping. Spread the whipped cream onto the chilled pie and serve.
