• 1 each pie shell (9 inch) 9 or 10 inch, prebaked

• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 x chocolate shavings

1. Make a double batch of Pudding.
2. Chill thoroughly.
3. This pudding will be extremely thick.
4. Make or purchase your favorite pie shell.
5. Whip cream with confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract until thick and fluffy.
6. Take 1/2 of the whipped cream and add to the chocolate pudding.
7. Because the pudding is so thick, you will probably want to use an electric mixer for this task.
8. Mix until all of the whipped cream is thoroughly incorporated.
9. Fill pie shell with the pudding-whipped cream mixture.
10. Place remaining whipped cream into a piping bag and pipe onto top of pie.
11. Shave bittersweet chocolate on top as garnish.
