With just four ingredients, this JELL-O Chocolate Pie recipe couldn’t be easier. You’ll love this no-bake pie for hosting family and friends, or just enjoying with a cup of coffee! Combine milk, JELL-O chocolate pudding, butter, and chocolate chips for a double chocolate pie that’s smooth & creamy.

Desserts that WOW, using only a few ingredients, are my favorite kind! Baking can be time consuming and overwhelming sometimes, and I really love having a few recipes that I can throw together with minimal effort (all while making my guests think I slaved all day)!

Plus, you will not be mad if there are leftovers of this! Trust me. Just say you are getting your calcium intake for the day!

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS JELL-O PUDDING PIE:

  • 2 (3 ½ ounce) packages chocolate pudding mix (NOT INSTANT)
  • 3 1⁄2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1⁄3 cup chocolate chips
  • baked pastry shell*
  • Optional: toppings- chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, chocolate sauce, whipped topping

HOW DO YOU MAKE CHOCOLATE PIE WITH PUDDING?

  1. Combine JELL-O mixes, milk, butter and chips in a saucepan.
  2. Cook and lightly whisk over medium heat, until mixture comes to a full bubbling boil.
  3. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes, stirring twice.
  4. Pour into shell and allow pie to cool-down to room temperature. Then refrigerate for 3 hours.
  5. Garnish with toppings and enjoy!

*I used a pre-made OREO crust, you have lots of options here… store-bought or homemade, traditional or crumb crust. If you bake it, just make sure the crust has cooled before you add the filling.

My mom always made this when I was growing up, but her recipe was more of a chocolate pudding pie with graham cracker crust and cool whip. It was my favorite! The one I have come up with here is a variation of the jell-o pudding recipe on box sides. Any way you choose to make this – it is decadent!

Whether you just want an easy dessert for your family, or you want to impress guests, you must try this recipe!

handy tools to use when making this chocolate pudding pie:

  • silicone whisk – stir, whisk and scrape sides all at once.
  • saucepan – good quality, heats evenly, heavy duty

frequently asked questions

How do you thicken instant pudding for pie? You can make instant pudding with heavy cream, rather than milk, if you’re looking for an extra thick consistency. In addition to a thicker consistency, you’ll also notice a richer flavor. If you use just heavy cream, the texture might even be too thick. Add a little milk, if necessary to thin the pudding.

Can you freeze chocolate pudding? Pudding, like most foods, is safe to be stored in the freezer. By doing this, you can extend the storage life of the pudding for up to three months. And for some puddings, like gelatin one, you can turn them into frozen pops. Always keep in mind that the texture of the pudding might change a bit in the freezer.
