The chocolate in these French Silk Pie Bites softens into a glossy, smooth filling that feels both airy and indulgent. As the crescent dough bakes, it puffs slightly and browns at the edges, creating a buttery shell that crackles lightly under a spoon. Once cooled, each shell becomes the perfect cradle for the silky chocolate pudding—rich, cool, and impossibly creamy. A spoonful of whipped topping and a light dusting of cocoa powder add that finishing touch.
Serve these chilled after dinner or pass them around at a party—they disappear fast.

Step 2: Roll out each crescent dough sheet and cut into 12 equal squares.
Step 3: Press one square into each cavity, gently shaping to form a cup. Bake the empty cups for 10–13 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
Step 4: In a large bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened. Fold in 1½ c whipped topping to create a light, mousse-like texture.
Step 5: Pipe or spoon the chocolate filling into the fully cooled crescent cups.
Step 6: Top with a dollop of whipped topping and dust with cocoa powder. Serve immediately for the best texture, or loosely cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
