Frosty Mocha Pie

I made this over Thanksgiving break while visiting my parents back in Alabama. I was looking for a chocolate pie recipe, and found this in my mom's Taste of Home cookbooks. I think it turned out ok, my dad, brother, and brother-in-law seemed to enjoy it!

Chocolate Pudding Pie

Well, I still don't have the cookbooks with those recipes that I promised y'all! I'm still moving around like a madwoman. But I have been baking a little bit...sorta! Here's a taste of what I've done:

Chocolate Pudding Pie

1 graham cracker crust
1 large box of chocolate pudding
2 1/2 cups of milk

Whisk pudding and milk together in a large bowl. Once mixed together, pour into prepared crust. Place in fridge, covered, for at least an hour. Once chilled, serve. For added bonus, serve with a dollup of whipped cream on top of each slice!
