No-bake Pudding Pie Ingredients

These are the ingredients needed to make your chocolate pudding pie. Choose your favorite brand of chocolate pudding mix. Most mixes call for milk, I like to use 2% milk because it makes the filling of the pie extra rich and creamy. Make sure it is instant pudding though!

• Instant chocolate pudding
• Pre-made 9-inch graham cracker pie crust or Oreo pie crust
• Whipped cream or Cool Whip
• Hershey’s chocolate bar
• 2% milk (as called for on pudding box)

How to make this pudding pie recipe

1. First, you will need to make the chocolate pudding. Prepare your instant chocolate pudding by following the directions on the back of the box. Mixing the pudding with milk. (You can use a homemade chocolate pudding as well if you are so inclined.)
2. Different brands require different amounts of milk. I like to use 2% but you can use the milk of your choice!
3. Next, pour a little less than half of your chocolate pudding into the bottom of your 9-inch pie crust.
4. In the bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 of your chocolate pudding with 1/2 of the whipped cream and stir them together well. Then, add this mix as the next layer of the pie.
5. Finally, add the last 1/2 of the remaining un-mixed whipped cream to the top of the pie, and smooth out the top.
6. Lastly, using a potato peeler shave off chocolate pieces from the Hershey’s chocolate bar to add to the top of your pie as a garnish.
7. 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! I promise this will be a family favorite!

How Long to Chill chocolate pudding pie with graham cracker crust

It’s important to let this pie chill before serving it. Trying to serve it immediately after making it won’t bode well. It will fall apart because the pudding will not have had time to set.

I like to chill my chocolate pudding pie for at least one hour, but it doesn’t hurt to chill it for even longer! It is best when served nice and cold and is easier to enjoy when it has firmed up just a bit.

How to store Pudding Pie

Using a pre-made pie crust makes for very easy storage of the 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 it can melt and it won’t firm up in the same shape again.

However, I am willing to bet that there might not be anything to store after serving this pie!

Have I mentioned how easy this pudding pie is? But the best part of all is that it won’t taste “easy.” It tastes like you have been slaving away in the kitchen for hours
