Sarah’s Quick and Easy Graham Cracker Crusted Chocolate Pie:
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
- 10 graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 extra pinch of sugar
- 1 package of cook and serve chocolate pudding (and ingredients specified on box)
- 1 package Cool Whip
- 1 Snickers bar
Execution:
- Place the graham crackers and 3 table spoons sugar in a sealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to grind the graham crackers down to the consistency of a granule of sugar. It is permissible to leave some small chunks of a graham cracker in the mix to add variation.
- Empty the sugar and graham cracker crumbs into a small mixing bowl. Next, melt the butter using the microwave or a small saucepan. Make certain that the butter is not scalded during this process; scalded butter has an unappetizing taste.
- Stir the graham cracker and sugar mix while slowly adding the freshly melted butter to the mixing bowl. Make certain that the mixture is moist but not completely wet; the mixture should loosely bind together.
- Empty the mixture into a ten inch pie dish and use your fingers to spread the mixture around the entire surface. Make it a point to press the mixture down into the pie dish so there are no air bubbles and the entire bottom of the pie dish is covered. Spread the additional pinch of sugar over the pie crust.
- Refrigerate the pie crust for a half hour.
- While the pie crust is refrigerating, follow the instructions on the cook and serve chocolate pudding to create the filling. It is important that you stir the pudding the entire time that it is cooking to prevent the formation of lumps.
- When the pudding has finished cooking, take it off the heat and let it stand for two minutes, stirring occasionally. This step will cool down the pudding and allow it to thicken slightly before putting it into the pie dish.
- After two minutes have elapsed, slowly pour the chocolate pudding into the pie dish and spread it evenly. Wrap a dish towel around the pie dish to discourage the formation of a skin on top of the pudding.
- At this time you may chop the Snickers bar into small slices about ¼ inch thick. Put a ½ inch thick piece of the candy bar to the side; it will be grated over the surface of the pie later.
- After the pie has cooled for fifteen minutes, remove the towel and gently press the pieces of the Snickers bar into the surface of the pudding. Do not fret if it ruins the beauty of your pie because it will soon be covered by a layer of Cool Whip.
- Re-cover the pie dish and refrigerate until cool. Once cooled, gently frost the top of the pie with Cool Whip.
- Once frosted, grate the piece of the Snickers bar you didn’t place into the pie earlier over the top of the cool whip; creating a dust of chocolate. You may enjoy the pie immediately after this step.
