Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 package (3.4 oz) Instant pudding mix (vanilla or your choice of flavor)
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup (optional) Whipped cream, for topping
- 2 tablespoons (optional) Chocolate shavings or sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and have a wet sand-like texture.
2. Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly and evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Use the bottom of a flat glass or measuring cup to press it down neatly. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
3. Make the creme layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together with a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently with a spatula to create a light and fluffy creme layer.
5. Spread the creme layer evenly over the chilled crust. Place the pie back into the refrigerator to chill while preparing the pudding layer.
6. Prepare the pudding layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Let it sit for another 1-2 minutes to set completely.
7. Pour the pudding over the creme layer, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3-4 hours or overnight to allow it to set fully.
8. Before serving, top the pie with a layer of whipped cream, and garnish with optional chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
9. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Easy Creme Pie!
