Bert's Pie

My buddy Bert was visiting from Virginia.  He loves chocolate so I came up with a recipe for a chocolate pie.  If you want to make the low calories version, use fat-free instant pudding and Cool Whip.  This pie takes roughly five minutes to make and is now one of the faves of my family.


This is decorated for the 4th of July barbecue.

One pre-baked pie shell

1 pkg. of chocolate fudge pudding
1 cup of heavy cream
2 tsps. of strong brewed coffee (I use  Kona from Hawaii)
2 tbl. of Nutella
2 tbl. of Hershey's chocolate sauce
2 tbl. of Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa powder

Whipped cream and 2 tsps. of grated Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate for topping

Mix pudding, heavy cream, coffee, Nutella, Hershey's chocolate sauce and cocoa powder in mixing bowl.  Mix well until blended.  Cover with heavy whipped cream (sweetened lightly with sugar).  Sprinkle grated chocolate over top.
