PLease help, I want to make my dad a chocolate pie and I need to step it up, and advice cause I am not a baker?

My dad is a simple guy. His favorite pie is a store bought graham cracker crust pie with chocolate pudding. He loves this. My dear departed mother made this for him for all the holidays.





Can you help me? With a crust, maybe make it more chocolately? And also, I want to do a real whip cream..





Thanks in advance, its his birthday and I want to do something special





Much lovePLease help, I want to make my dad a chocolate pie and I need to step it up, and advice cause I am not a baker?
Crust- you can make it yourself with cookies and butter. Smash the cookies add butter (more the better) and shape. Then add pudding.





Whipping Cream


1 cup heavy cream (very cold)


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup





Whipped cream:


1 Combine the cream and the vanilla and mix well with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment.


2 Start whipping the cream on medium speed.


3 Add the corn syrup slowly while beating.


4 Whip until the cream holds soft peaks.


5 Slather, drop and dollop onto whatever your heart desires.PLease help, I want to make my dad a chocolate pie and I need to step it up, and advice cause I am not a baker?
you could make your own crust with both regular and chocolate graham crackers to spice it up a little more. just put them in a food processor or blender with a tablespoon or two of melted butter. Just mix it until it just barely sticks together when you pack it. (think sandcastle packing consistency). then pack it thinly into a pie pan and pour in the pudding. for homemade whip cream, you'll definitely need an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. I'm not sure of the exact mixtures but any chef on food network makes whip cream at some point so their website should have that recipe.
you can buy pre-made chocolate graham cracker crusts. Then buy your chocolate pudding (instant is easy) make it and add the whipped topping and get a semi sweet chocolate bar or bakers chocolate and use a peeler to shave some of the semi sweet chocolate on top of the whipped topping (The chocolate you shave will most likely curl into a nice shape)
buy a graham cracker crust,cook %26amp; serve chc pudding, pint of whipping cream, powdered sugar and hersheys syrup. follow directions on pack for pie. let cool then whip whipping cream on high til stiff add syrup to alittle on side and powdered sugar til it tastes good then do the rest of whipcream. put on pie. if he likes extra chocolate grate dark chocolate over whipcream.hope he likes
just get the crust,mix up a chocolate pudding mix pour into crust grate some chocolate on top and there you are.If you like put whip topping on the pudding and grate chocolate on top of topping.
