No bake Chocolate Pie!

This is for the beginners who get recipes off my blog...I must say though, despite the simplicity of making this pie, it is a staple at every family function on my mom's side because it is so good. I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients:

1 keebler graham cracker crust (works better with a deep dish crust...you can make your own as well...I have done that with crushed graham crackers and melted butter, but with this pie I have found it tastes better with the pre-made crust)
8oz package cream cheese
1 tub cool whip
1 cup powdered sugar
2 small boxes chocolate instant pudding
3 cups milk

Mix the two small boxes of chocolate pudding with the three cups milk and let is set up for a few minutes. Meanwhile, beat together cream cheese, 1 cup cool whip, and 1 cup powdered sugar. The cream cheese mixture is your first layer and needs to be spread evenly on the crust. Then, you top that layer with your chocolate pudding and use the remainder of your cool whip from the tub for your top layer. Chill and serve!

Depending on whether or not you find a deep dish graham cracker crust (because they are hard to find) you may have to add that top layer of cool whip as you are serving it because it tends to get a little taller than the lid can handle.
