Is it better to use a premade or homemade pie crust?
Either option is fine, so it’s more a matter of preference than anything. If you’re preparing the homemade pie crust, you can use the Oreo cookies, crushing them into crumbs using a food processor. And, if you don’t have Oreo cookies, feel free to use any other type of cookie that you do enjoy eating. While I prefer a homemade pie crust, you can save yourself some time and energy by purchasing a pre-made one at the store.

What can I do if I don’t have heavy cream?
If you don’t have any heavy cream, you can make it by combining whole milk with butter. It’s easy to prepare a version of heavy cream using these two ingredients. You also have the option of using half-and-half as a substitute.

What brand of pudding should I use?
You can use any brand of pudding that you like. While I prefer the Jell-O brand, it’s fine to use a generic version of the pudding to create this tasty Chocolate Cream Pie with ease.

Recipe Notes
You can expect this pie to become thicker when it starts to cool. It might seem a bit runny when you’re first assembling it. However, once you’ve allowed it to sit and chill in the fridge, it will have the perfect consistency.
You can add a whipped topping or your favorite flavor and style of whipped cream on top of this pie for added flavor.
Consider pre-slicing the pie to make it easier to serve when you’re ready. While it’s not a necessity, it comes in handy!

How to Store the Chocolate Cream Pie
After you’ve prepared this pie, you’ll need to stick it in the fridge to let it set. You can keep it in the pie container, covering it with a lid. If you don’t have a lid, place a sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil on top of it to keep it protected. Be sure to keep your pie in the fridge to keep it cold and fresh before you serve it.
