Time 14m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pre-baked pie crust
1 3/4 cups milk
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package chocolate pudding mix, mix (NOT-instant but "cook & serve" variety)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold before adding it to the chocolate mixture. This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become stiff and grainy.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

This French Chocolate Mint Pie is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich chocolate ganache filling is perfectly complemented by the creamy mint filling, and the graham cracker crust adds a delightful crunch. Whether you are a fan of chocolate, mint, or pie, you are sure to love this recipe.
