Did you grow up eating chocolate pudding pie? My mom used to make an amazing one. It used the pudding in the box but never the instant kind. The kind you cooked on the stove. She’d pour it into a pie crust and then make real whipped cream for the top. Always a favorite, especially for my brother. When I saw this version on Pioneer Woman I chooc ran to the kitchen and whipped it up! Super easy to make the pudding from scratch! Give this one a try! Mmmmm!!!
