Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove the label from the can of Eagle Brand milk.
- Submerge the unopened can in a saucepan of water, ensuring it is fully covered.
- Bring the water to a boil and simmer the can for 3 hours, adding water as needed to keep it covered.
- Allow the can to cool completely before opening and using the contents.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best flavor, ensure the Eagle Brand milk is completely submerged during boiling. You can substitute the chocolate pudding with vanilla for a different twist. If you prefer, using a pre-made pie crust can save time. Chopped almonds or hazelnuts can also work well instead of walnuts or pecans. This recipe is perfect for fans of American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful pie chilled for the best taste. It pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Consider serving it alongside fresh berries or a fruit salad for a refreshing contrast. For a fun twist, try it with a scoop of Berry Good Yogurt Sundae on the side.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, where it will keep for up to three days. If you need to reheat, slice the pie and warm it gently in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to maintain its creamy texture without overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant pudding instead of regular pudding?
Instant pudding will not work well in this recipe, as it requires cooking to thicken properly. Regular chocolate pudding provides the right consistency and creaminess that complements the sweetened condensed milk.
How do I know when the can of Eagle Brand milk is done boiling?
The can should simmer for a full three hours. After that, it should be completely cooled before opening. If you notice any bulging or damage to the can while boiling, it is best to discard it for safety reasons.
Is it possible to make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare this pie a day in advance. Just make sure to keep it refrigerated until you're ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste.
