Note

Use cook-and-serve pudding mix for the best texture; instant pudding is not recommended for this recipe as it may become grainy when cooked.

Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, tightly covered. It will keep for up to 3-4 days.

For a smoother ganache, microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, to prevent overheating.

Ensure the pie crust is completely cooled before adding the chocolate layer to prevent melting issues.
