Chocolate Strawberry Pie


Ok, honestly, I big pink sparkly puffy heart chocolate and strawberries together. A-ma-zing. You know it's true. Giggle. Ok, I will now return from the world of adolescence to reality to give you an amazing recipe that is super easy and delicious. But really...I do love the combo. Just saying. Haha.

This is a no-bake pie. You just need a freezer, no oven. I cheated and used a store-bought graham cracker crust, but you can make your own if you want. Yum. Away we go.

Ingredients:
-1 quart strawberries, sliced
-1 graham cracker crust
-1 package chocolate pudding/pie filling
-whipped cream, about 1.5 cups, and extra for finishing

Directions:
Layer the sliced strawberries in the bottom of the pie crust. Mix the pudding according to package directions for pie filling. Pour half the pudding mixture over the strawberries. Smooth it out so it is evenly spread over the strawberry layer. It should just cover them. Put another layer of strawberry slices over the chocolate layer. Add the whipped cream to the remaining pudding mixture, and fold it in gently. It's ok if it's not completely incorporated, but it should be pretty well mixed in there. Be careful to fold it in, not mix/stir it, so the fluffiness remains. Pour this mixture over the strawberry layer, and spread it evenly over the pie. Place a few strawberries on top for garnish, and freeze until 2 hours before serving. Remove from freezer and let thaw for 2 hours at room temperature. You want it to be firm but not frozen. Just before serving, Finish it off with a little whipped cream. Enjoy!
