Homemade Chocolate Pudding Pie

Thanks for sharing!

This isn’t your mama’s chocolate pudding pie, but it just might be better.  It has more rich creamy chocolate filling topped with a cream cheese whipped cream for the perfect chocolate treat!

This homemade chocolate pie features a flaky pastry pie crust that is filled with rich and creamy homemade chocolate pudding filling.  Then it is topped with a cream cheese whipped cream and a handful of chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips to finish it off. 

This pie is rich, creamy and full of chocolate flavor just like you would want it to be.  It’s not your mama’s chocolate pie, it’s better.

To tell you the truth, I am not really the pie maker in the family.  MiMi plays that role on my side.

My brother-in-law Anthony and my mother-in-law/Nana fill the role on my husband’s side.  I just can’t seem to make a pretty crimp on the pie crust.

No matter what I do, it looks like uneven and unpretty.  I love all of the beautiful pies I see online, but I just don’t have the patience to make that beauty at home.

Or maybe I just lack the skill.  Either way, I make pie crust like a grade school child.

With Pi{e} Day coming up, I had to get over my fear.  After all, MiMi has been slacking on making things for the blog.

Besides, sometimes you just have to make a pie even if you don’t think the crust looks perfect.  In the end, what really matters is how the food tastes and this pie tastes ah-mazing!

What Does the Pie Taste Like?

It is a nod to the old fashioned chocolate pudding style pies, but so much better.  The chocolate filling is made on the stove top and is rich and delicious.

It is also easy, which is always a bonus!  There is just a bit of coffee flavor mixed in to take the chocolate to the next level.

You’d never pick it out as coffee, it just deepens the flavor profile and it doesn’t hurt the color either. It makes it a next level chocolate pudding.

Then there is the topping.  Mmmmmm, this topping.  

There is no tub of whipped topping here.  Oh no!

This is the good stuff.  The cream cheese whipped cream combines a bit whipped cream and a bit cream cheese to make a soft, delicious, sumptuous topping that plays off the chocolate layer so nicely.

It would be beautiful decorated with some big chocolate shavings, but I didn’t have a block of chocolate handy.  So, I whipped out the mini chocolate chips to give it a little pizzazz with no effort at all.

I have to tell you that we were all sad when this was gone.   This jazzed up chocolate pie is definitely on the sort list of must be made again soon dishes.  

More Great Creamy Pie Recipes

If you are looking for another variety of chocolate pie, try rich creamy French silk pie. It has a fluffier filling, but is still rich and chocolaty.

Old fashioned sour cream raisin pie is another great creamy option. The sour cream almost gives the pie a lemon flavor and the pie is a classic for good reason.

Apple butter pie is full of fall flavors. It’s easy creamy filling is sumptuous and delicious.

Classic banana cream pie is another winner. The homemade vanilla custard soaks up banana flavor from fresh fruit and tastes amazing.
