Ingredients
- 1 package (3.9-ounce) Jello Chocolate Instant pudding
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (8-ounce) container cool whip, thawed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 package (14.4-ounce) chocolate graham crackers
Instructions
Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the graham crackers in a food processor and process until the grahams have been reduced to fine crumbs. In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter. Mix until the butter is evenly distributed throughout the graham cracker crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch pie plate, making sure to press firmly. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk. Mix until the pudding is thick and creamy. Add the cool whip, cinnamon, and vanilla extract and mix until everything is incorporated. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and place in the refrigerator to set for at least 3 hours.
When ready to serve, slice the pie into 8 slices and enjoy. Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
