Chocolate Strawberry Dream Pie

Ingredients:

Cookie Crust:
1-1/3 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (such as Oreo)
4 Tbsp. butter, melted

Filling:
2 cups cold milk
2 pkgs. chocolate or chocolate fudge instant pudding (8 servings)
8-oz. container of frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
1 qt. fresh strawberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse cookies until finely ground. Stir in the melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a deep-dish pie plate or a 2-qt. casserole dish (crust should be fairly thick). Bake on the center rack for 15 minutes; let cool.

Pour cold milk into a large mixing bowl and add the pudding mix. Beat with a wire whisk until well mixed (mixture will be thick). Gently stir in the whipped topping. Fold in the chocolate syrup until you see streaks forming.

Spoon half of the filling into the crust, add the sliced strawberries, and top with the rest of the filling. Garnish with the remaining strawberries and grated chocolate.

Refrigerate the pie for 4 hours or until set.
