Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 1 3.4-ounce package Vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups Whole milk (for pudding)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or a glass to press the crumbs tightly.

Step 3

Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This will take about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the pudding from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form.

Step 7

Fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled vanilla pudding to create a lighter, creamier filling.

Step 8

Pour the vanilla pudding mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight refrigeration is ideal for best results.

Step 10

Before serving, top the pie with the remaining whipped cream, spreading it evenly or piping it decoratively.

Step 11

Garnish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles if desired for an extra touch of elegance.

Step 12

Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy!
