Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the pudding and pie filling, milk, oleo, and chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until the mixture comes to a boil.

- Pour the mixture into a prepared pie shell.
- Cool the pie for 3 hours or until set.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat or skim. If you're out of oleo, unsalted butter can be a good substitute. To enhance the chocolate flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust instead of making one from scratch. This pie is reminiscent of the flavors found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the chocolate pie chilled, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. For a delightful contrast, consider pairing it with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It also makes a perfect dessert after a hearty meal, and would pair wonderfully with light dishes like Broccoli With Cream Cheese Sauce or a salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. This pie will keep well for up to 3 days. If you want to enjoy it later, avoid adding whipped cream until just before serving to maintain its texture. Reheat gently in the microwave if you prefer it warm, but it's delicious chilled as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant pudding instead of the regular pudding mix?
No, this recipe specifically calls for non-instant Jell-O chocolate pudding and pie filling. Instant pudding will not thicken properly in this recipe, resulting in a runny consistency instead of the desired creamy texture.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make this chocolate pie gluten-free, ensure that the pie crust you use is gluten-free. Many brands offer pre-made gluten-free pie crusts that work just as well as traditional ones. Also, double-check that your pudding mix is labeled gluten-free.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! This chocolate pie can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Just be sure to refrigerate it until you're ready to serve. Adding the whipped cream topping just before serving will ensure it stays fresh and fluffy.
