My thoughts all stray


No matter how I try, I keep coming back to chocolate desserts. Subconsciously I must be trying to find the one that will make me love chocolate the way everyone else I know does. I've still yet to find it, although Thatboy doesn't mind the consent attempts. This one in fact, he requested I not send into work so he could enjoy it night after night. It's basically pudding in a pie shell, which could be why Thatboy enjoyed it so much. Can you think of anything that would bring back more nostalgia than chocolate pudding?


Chocolate Pudding Pie
  • pie dough
    • 1 14-oz. can condensed milk
    • 2/3 cup water
    • 1 pkg. chocolate pudding mix
    • 1 oz. square unsweetened chocolate
    • 2 cups heavy cream
  1. Preheat oven to 450. Roll out pie dough and place in pie pan. Line pie crust with foil and bake for 8 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5 more minutes.
  2. In large saucepan, combine condensed milk, water and pudding mix; mix well.
  3. Add chocolate.
  4. Over medium heat, cook and stir rapidly until chocolate melts and mixture thickens. Remove from heat; beat until smooth. Cool. Chill thoroughly; stir.
  5. Whip cream with electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold into pudding mixture.
  6. Pour into pie crust.
  7. Chill 4 hours until set.

  4. I love chocolate pudding pie. My mom used to make these when we were young. Well she still does, sometimes with whipped cream on top. It is a comforting pie!

  5. I like the configuration of this. It reminds me that I haven't made pudding cake in ages. These kinds of treats have about a 20 minute staying power before the plate is completely cleaned.

  8. Yum! I have some leftover chocolate ganache that I've been wondering what to do with, and this sounds perfect. I think I will use a chocolate crust and go all out!
