About

This dark, devilish confection is not your average pie. The crust is made with crumbled chocolate cookies, which makes for a flavorful, crisp exterior. Spread atop the crust is a rich chocolate pudding, finished with a mound of whipped cream. The chocolate pudding can also be served by itself, but the pie version takes it to the next level.
