Topped with billowy clouds of whipped cream and showered with chocolate shavings, you won’t want to share a single slice of this Homemade Chocolate Pudding Pie. A deep dish crust is filled with the most decadently delicious homemade pudding that makes instant pudding from a box seem like the most ridiculous idea ever.

Ingredients

1 frozen deep dish pie crust
1-1/2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
6 tablespoons cocoa
6 cups whole milk
whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the frozen pie crust according to package instructions. You're simply baking it to prepare it for the filling. Allow to cool completely.
In a large saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and cocoa. Whisk in milk and stir continuously over medium heat until mixture thickens and is bubbling.
Let mixture cool for 3-5 minutes and then pour into prepared pie crust. Allow to cool at room temperature for one hour and then transfer to refrigerator to cool completely.
Prior to serving, top pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.

Notes

Do NOT try to make this recipe with lowfat or skim milk as you'll end up with pudding soup instead of a pie filling. Still delicious, but definitely not what you're looking for! Also, be sure that you let the pudding mixture come to a complete boil before removing it from the heat so that it will thicken completely.
