CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE INGREDIENTS
You'll need:
- 1 box (5.85 ounces) chocolate instant pudding
- 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
- 1 8-ounce tub of whipped cream
- 2% milk (as called for on pudding box)
- 1 regular sized Hershey's chocolate bar (optional for garnish)
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
CRUST: For true chocolate addicts, try using an Oreo crust, chocolate cookie crust, or one that is made of chocolate graham crackers in place of graham crackers for an even more indulgent dessert.
MILK: Most pudding mixes call for milk, I like to use 2% or whole milk because it makes the filling of the pie extra rich and creamy. You could also use other types of milk, based on your preference.
WHIPPED CREAM: You could use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip if you prefer in this easy chocolate pudding pie.
HOW TO MAKE THIS CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE RECIPE
PRO TIP:
It's highly recommended to make this simple dessert a day ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight. This will allow it to thicken and makes it easier to cut into slices.
STEP ONE: In a medium bowl using a hand mixer, prepare your instant chocolate pudding mix by following the directions on the back of the box.
STEP TWO: Pour a little less than half of your chocolate pudding into the bottom of your graham cracker pie crust.
PRO TIP:
While not required, I'd recommend setting your premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate to give it a bit of extra stability on the bottom.
STEP THREE: In the mixing bowl, mix the remaining ½ of your chocolate pudding with ½ of the whipped cream and stir them together well. Then, add this chocolate pudding filling as the next layer of the pie.
STEP FOUR: Add the last ½ of the remaining un-mixed whipped cream to the top of the pie, and smooth out the top.
STEP FIVE: Using a potato peeler to make chocolate shavings from the Hershey's chocolate bar to add to the top of your pie as a garnish.
STEP SIX: Refrigerate the chocolate pudding pie for at least 1 hour to let it set and firm up a bit, before serving. When ready, just remove from the fridge, cut into slices and enjoy!
PRO TIP:
Don't skip the chilling step as you need to give the pie and filling time to set.
HOW TO SERVE
Enjoy this classic chocolate pudding pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side and a drizzle of chocolate fudge on top for an extra decadent dessert. If you are a chocoholic, you could add a mug of Instant Pot hot chocolate on the side.
STORAGE
IN THE FRIDGE: Using a pre-made pie shell makes for very easy storage of the homemade chocolate pudding pie. Simply snap the lid on top and place it in the fridge. It is important that you store the leftover pie in the fridge between servings, or the pie filling can melt and it won't firm up in the same shape again.
