Last Minute Entertaining

This super easy recipe I have made a few times when we have had unexpected company and they usually had no idea I was doing anything other than going to get a drink of water, each step only takes a minute and can be spread out. Most of the ingredient you can keep on hand for when you need it, or just have a craving. For a little more "scratch"ness, I added the recipes for homemade whip cream and graham cracker crust.

2 cups milk

1 large box instant chocolate pudding (6serving size)

1 tub whipped topping thawed (or 2 cups homemade whip cream)

1 cup chocolate chips

1 graham cracker crust

put chocolate chips into graham cracker crust and heat in oven at 250 for about 10 minutes, remove from oven and spread melted chips on bottom of crust, freeze for 30 minutes. While its freezing mix milk and pudding mix together, let sit for 5 min then add in half whipped cream, stir well then pour into pie crust, spread the remaining whipped cream on top and fluff with spatula.

Graham cracker crust

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/3 c melted butter

Whip cream

1 pint heavy whipping cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup sugar

Or use a hand mixer in a tall bowl and beat til thick

For a thicker whip cream (for decorating) add 1/2 pack of plain Gelatine, following directions on package
