2. Mix Milk and Flavorings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, mint extract, and green food coloring if desired. The mint extract adds a refreshing flavor while the food coloring gives it a festive touch.

3. Add Pudding Mixes: Add the vanilla instant pudding mixes to the bowl with the milk mixture. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens. This will give your pie a creamy and luscious filling.

4. Fold in Cream Mixture and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the whipped cream mixture and miniature semisweet chocolate chips into the pudding mixture until well combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the pie light and airy.

5. Pour into Pastry Shell: Pour the filling into the pre-made pastry shell. You can use a store-bought shell or make your own if you prefer. Spread the filling evenly to ensure every slice is filled with deliciousness.

6. Refrigerate: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until set. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and gives the pie its firm texture. It’s worth the wait!
