Mama’s Famous From Scratch Chocolate Pudding Pie is the chocolate pie recipe that my mom has made for as long as I can remember. My dad really liked it that’s why she made it so often. That and the fact that it’s super easy to make.
My dad loved desserts and we always had a homemade dessert on the counter when I was young. However, he didn’t like chocolate. This pie and this cake are the only two chocolate desserts he liked. I inherited his sweet tooth. By the way, I’m not a huge chocolate lover either. I know crazy!
Additionally, I’d rather make a dessert than make a savory recipe a million times over as you can tell from my large ratio of dessert to savory recipes.

Mama’s Famous From Scratch Chocolate Pudding Pie
- Basically, this recipe is a homemade chocolate pudding that’s cooked on the stove top then poured into a baked pie shell. You can make a pie crust. I have two easy pie crust recipes for you to use, Coconut Oil Pie Crust and Never Fail Pie Crust.
- Coincidentally, you could use a graham cracker crust, Oreo crust, or shortbread crust.
- You can make individual tarts with it the pudding. Individual desserts are the best!
- Or, you may prefer to forego a crust and eat it as, well, pudding. For the record, chocolate pudding is best warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Please note. I topped by pie with whipped cream. I don’t like meringue. Typically, this pie is topped with mile-high meringue, therefore, I have included the meringue recipe below as well.
- You may want this pie pan if you intend you make a homemade crust.
