Today is my son's 11th B-day *time has gone by way too fast*
He's not a cake guy so when I asked him what he wanted for his B-day dessert he requested chocolate pudding pie.

*Here's* a Kraft recipe similar to what I do *I prefer graham cracker crust.

It's not a Chocolate Cream Pie, but I love chocolate pie. It's just a graham cracker crust with chocolate pudding, I think I used two boxes last time I made it and just filled the pie crust up with what I need. Then whip cream for the top when served. Super easy and delicious.

I make a variation of the Kraft one but make it with crushed oreos inside the pudding mix and then oreo crumbs on top of the pie. The recipe I used called it Dirt Pie.

Our recipe:

Put a tub of cool whip in the freezer til it is cold, but not rock hard. (Still able to stir it.) Melt an extra large Hershey bar in the microwave, then slowly pour it in to the cold cool whip. (The chocolate should freeze into chunky bits as you do it.) Pour the whole mix into a graham cracker crust & freeze for a couple of hours- super easy- and budget- chocolate pie!

You can add a bit of mint extract or a tsp of reconstituted espresso powder if you want. When we want to make it fancy, we use a peeler to shave a few chocolate curls off the bar before we melt it.

Mine aren't really chocolate cream pies but I have great success and many requests for both of these.....
recipe #1,
1 tub of Cool Whip
1 box of choc. pudding mix
mix the pudding mix with the Cool Whip, pour into a graham cracker or Oreo cookie crust and chill.

recipe #2
1 box of choc. pudding
1 tub of Cool Whip
mix the choc. pudding according to the package directions (do not follow the recipe above)
pour into a graham cracker or Oreo cookie crust
cover with Cool Whip and more crumbled graham crackers or Oreo cookies
chill and serve

To make your graham cracker or Oreo crust simply crush graham crackers or Oreo cookies, add 1/4 cup of melted and press into the pie plate.

I've also served these with sliced strawberries and/or raspberries or blueberries and they've always been devoured at any function I take them to.

I made this on a whim several years ago and ever since I get requests for it. I have even had people offer to pay me to make this pie for their holiday meals. I hope you enjoy.

If you guys ever venture to make your own chocolate pudding, you'll never buy that box stuff again. It's no harder than the cook & serve kind, it just takes an extra few minutes to measure out the cocoa, sugar, etc. yourself.

I'm at work without access to my recipe that my family loves but here is a very similar one. It's not brownie consistency as much as it's intensely chocolate.

Chips Ahoy Brownie Pie:

However, if you want the classic chocolate cream pie, here's a great recipe for chocolate pudding:

and you would need to purchase or make your own crust - pastry, cookie crumb, graham - your choice, and then you would need to make a meringue or top with whipped cream.

Made this at Christmas, it was FABULOUS! I did it in a graham cracker crust rather than a regular crust and it was GREAT! Highly recommend! Very rich and thickens really well!

This is the recipe I use. I got it from a 1963 McCalls Cookbook.

Chocolate Merengue Pie

9-inch pie shell
1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
5 tablespoons sugar
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups milk
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 egg whites at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons sugar

Prepare and bake pie shell; let cool.

Make filling:

In medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, chocolate, and salt; mix.

Gradually stir in milk, mixing until smooth.

Over medium heat, bring to boiling, stirring; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. remove from heat.

Stir half of hot mixture gradually into the egg yolks, mixing well; pour back into saucepan. (Stir egg yolks vigorously or you'll end up with scrambled egg in chocolate.)

Bring back to boiling, stirring; boil 1 minute longer. remove from heat.

Stir in extracts; pour immediately into pie shell.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400F.

Make meringue:

In medium bowl, with portable electric mixer at medium speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form when beater is raised.

Gradually beat in sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form when beater is raised.

Spread meringue over warm filling, sealing to edge of crust.

Bake 7 to 10 minutes, or until meringue is golden.

Cool on wire rack, away from drafts, 1 hour before serving.

This is my chocolate pie recipe. I make it often - it is famous in my family! There is never any left.

Chocolate Pie

1 cup sugar
3 T. cornstarch
3 T. cocoa
pinch salt
3 egg yolks
2 cups 2% or whole milk (or I often use half-and-half for a really rich pie)
1/2 stick butter (not margarine), cut up
1 t. vanilla
1 baked pie crust (make your own or refrigerated)

Combine dry ingredients in a medium saucepan. Lightly beat egg yolks and mix with some of the milk, combine with the dry ingredients. Add butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the filling boils. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Coat a piece of wax paper with butter and lay it over the hot filling to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool and serve room temp or refrigerate. Top with real whipped cream for an extra treat!

I make a simple cheater's quick version. I buy a graham cracker crust. Make cooked chocolate pudding and pour it into the crust. While it cools a few hours in fridge I defrost cool whip. I like to top the pie with the coolwhip prior to serving and will often shave some chocolate on top to make it look like I put more effort into it! Everyone always loves it.

I made this for a diabetic family member and it was a hit with everyone, it's a South Beach recipe.

I don't recall exact measurements, but basically:

In saucepan melt some all natural peanut butter, about a half cup
Add two cups Rice Krispies and stir to coat.
Press into pie pan. Chill.

Fill with sugar-free chocolate pudding (I used Jello cook & serve, make a double recipe but use one less cup of milk).

Chill then top with sugar free cool whip.

Here's a favorite of ours that just makes the "pudding kind" a bit more rich (and easier to cut.)

1 nine inch pie shell baked or use a prepared graham cracker crust.

2 - 4 serving boxes of the COOK AND EAT chocolate pudding.
Add to this 3 1/2 cups of cold milk. Cook this, stirring constantly on a low heat until it reaches a full boil. You can also do this in your microwave.
After pudding reaches full boil, turn off the heat and stir in 2 tbls butter or margarine and 1/4 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips. Allow to cool for 5 minutes stirring twice.

Add pudding mixture to prepared pie shell. Put a layer of plastic wrap directly on the top of the pudding to prevent a "skin" from forming. Allow to cool thoroughly - at least 3 hours.

Serve with whipped cream and shaved chocolate if desired.

This is pretty much my mom' recipe also. I love them and so does everyone else. In fact one of my DD's best friends told me that under no circumstance does she eat pie, well she eats that one. lol

sorry but Choc pudding in a graham cracker crust does not equal a pie by any definition in my world.
