Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter

Filling

  • 1 ½ cups half and half cream
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) envelope instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup miniature marshmallows
  • ½ cup chopped roasted almonds

Garnish (optional)

  • Melted chocolate chips for drizzling
  • Extra marshmallows
  • Extra chopped roasted almonds
  • Extra chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Melt the butter and stir it into the crumb mixture until evenly coated.
  2. Form the crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to create the crust layer.
  3. Mix the pudding: In another large bowl, whisk together the half and half cream and the instant chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and starts to thicken slightly.
  4. Combine filling ingredients: Gently fold in the whipped topping, semisweet chocolate chips, miniature marshmallows, and chopped roasted almonds into the pudding mixture until evenly distributed.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the prepared filling into the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top as needed.
  6. Freeze the pie: Place the pie in the freezer and allow it to freeze for 6 hours or until fully set and firm.
  7. Garnish and serve: If desired, drizzle melted chocolate chips over the top and sprinkle with additional marshmallows, almonds, and chocolate chips for decoration. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use softened butter for easy mixing with the graham cracker crumbs.
  • The pie must be frozen for at least 6 hours to ensure it sets properly and holds its shape when sliced.
  • Substitute chopped pecans or walnuts if roasted almonds are unavailable.
  • For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy cream substitutes and whipped topping alternatives.
  • Chill all ingredients before assembling for improved texture.
  • To add extra texture and flavor, consider folding in toffee bits or crushed cookies into the filling.
