Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk (for chocolate layer)
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla or cheesecake pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk (for strawberry layer)
- 1/2 cup strawberry puree or crushed strawberries (drained well)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tub (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- Chocolate shavings or fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate layer: In a medium bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for two minutes until thickened.
- Pour the chocolate pudding mixture evenly into the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Spread it flat with a spatula.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the strawberry layer, about 15 minutes.
- Prepare the strawberry layer: In a separate bowl, whisk the vanilla or cheesecake pudding mix with 1 cup of cold milk and the vanilla extract until slightly thickened.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree or drained crushed strawberries into the pudding mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Carefully spoon the strawberry mixture over the set chocolate layer. Smooth the top gently.
- Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
- Before serving, spread the thawed whipped topping over the set pie. Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh strawberries if desired.
Notes
- Use cold milk for instant pudding to ensure proper setting.
- If using fresh strawberries, crush them lightly and drain off excess liquid before mixing into the pudding.
- For a firmer strawberry layer, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream when mixing the strawberry pudding.
