Each bite of this chocolate pie is a perfect mix of creamy filling, smooth chocolate, and a bit of crunch from the crust.

With a rich, creamy chocolate filling and a flaky, buttery crust, it’s no surprise that it’s a favorite among dessert lovers.

You’ll need:

• 5-ounce package of chocolate pudding mix (cook and serve used here, but instant is fine also)
• 3 cups of cold milk
• Double recipe of stabilized whipped cream (try our stabilized whipped cream recipe)
• 9-inch baked pie crust (try our homemade pie crust recipe)

Substitutions And Additions

PUDDING: Use your favorite type of creamy chocolate pudding mix for this homemade chocolate pie recipe.

If the pudding is cooked, be sure that it is cooled completely before mixing it into the whipped cream so that it doesn’t melt.

TOPPING: You can top the pie with chocolate curls, chocolate shavings, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.

Dark chocolate or milk chocolate would be equally yummy. To make shaved chocolate, use a vegetable peeler to grate it from a chocolate bar.

CRUST: An Oreo cookie crust, regular chocolate cookie crust, or graham cracker crust is also delicious with this easy chocolate pie.

If you want to use the traditional pie crust listed in the ingredients, you can either use a store-bought crust or a homemade pie crust recipe.

MILK: Any milk will work fine, but we find whole milk will make this pie extra creamy.

How To Make This Chocolate Pie Recipe

Let’s walk through the easy steps to assembling this decadent and delicious chocolate pie, from the crust to the chocolate pudding filling.

STEP ONE: Prepare the pudding according to the package instructions. For a cook-and-serve pudding, bring pudding mix and milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. For instant pudding, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until the pudding is thickened.

STEP TWO: Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the pudding and milk mixture until thoroughly combined.

STEP THREE: Spoon the pudding mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours.

STEP FOUR: Slice and serve with additional whipped cream.

How To Serve

Chocolate lovers will never say no to a piece of this delicious pie at dessert time. The chocolate flavor is over-the-top decadent, and the buttery pie crust is a classic choice.

Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the pie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

To add even more chocolate goodness, serve with a mug of whipped hot chocolate to wash it down.

Notes

• Whether you are using store-bought or your own crust, make sure it is baked first.
• If you are using a store-bought pie crust and it is in a foil pie plate, we’d recommend placing that inside a glass pie dish for added stability.
• Freezing this chocolate pudding pie helps it set more quickly and slice cleanly.
