Laura Hogan’s Chocolate Pie

laura hogan's chocoate pieLaura created this recipe and claims to alter the recipe a little every time she cooks it!   I had it once and begged her to attempt to remember how she did it so I could write it down!   I’m sharing it with her total permission from way back in 2011.  (Thank you Laura!) Ingredients: (This recipe makes 1-3 pies depending on the size of your crust)

  •  graham cracker pie crusts (1-3)

Bottom Layer:

  • One package of white chocolate pudding
  • 1/2 brick of softened cream cheese (make the pudding according to the pie filling directions and mix with cream cheese and pour into bottom of crust)

Next Layer:

  • Newman’s Own brand mint chocolate cream cookies (crush them in a baggie then pour on top of first layer)  (If you can’t find Newman’s Own you can use Mint Oreos but they are green like in the photo)

Next Layer:

  • 2 small boxes chocolate instant pudding
  • Cool whip (make the pudding according to the pie filling directions and mix with “a big ole hunk” of cool whip)

Next Layer:

  • Cool Whip (layer Cool Whip all over the top.   Leave about a half inch around the edge so you can still see the chocolate underneath)

Next Layer:

  • Extra Large Hershey Milk Chocolate Candy Bar (Laura buys the extra large size because the shavings are more impressive!  Shave the candy bar and layer the shavings on top!)  (I use my blender to chop up semi sweet chocolate chips instead)

Chill for a few hours at least but it is best to do it overnight. This pie is seriously so good that I my niece and nephews beg me to make it every time I head to Auburn.
