Chocolate Pudding Pie Recipe
My Homemade Chocolate Pudding Pie is a perfect made ahead dessert! This simple pie is so quick to put together – all you need are a few pantry ingredients and your ready to go! For the base of this pie, I used my Oil Pie Crust, which is another simple that is pretty hard to mess up, which I blind baked ahead of time. Click here to learn how to easily blind bake a pie crust! My pudding filing, is made using my basic old fashioned homemade pudding recipe – did I mention that it requires NO eggs! I use half and half to create the richness and creaminess of my chocolate pudding pie filling, I mean what’s richer than heavy cream combined with whole milk? And if you’re wondering if you can use milk, DON’T – the half and half is an absolute must for this recipe, so do not skimp out and use anything else. Make this recipe for your next dinner party or gathering and enjoy!
