Chocolate and vanilla are two of the most beloved flavors in the world. When combined, they create a flavor combination that is simply irresistible. And what better way to enjoy this flavor combination than in a pie? In this post, we’ll show you how to make a delicious chocolate and vanilla pudding pie, using two different recipes.
Recipe 1: Chocolate and Vanilla Pudding Pie
This recipe is adapted from atreatsaffair.com, and it’s a classic take on the pie. It’s creamy, chocolatey, and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Take the pre-made pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Use a fork to poke holes in it.
- Bake the pie crust for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove it from the oven and let it cool.
- While the pie crust is baking, make the pudding. In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until combined.
- Slowly add the milk and egg mixture to the sugar mixture, whisking constantly.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips until they have melted.
- Pour half of the mixture into a separate bowl. This will be your vanilla pudding.
- Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the remaining pudding in the saucepan. Stir until well combined. This will be your chocolate pudding.
- Take your pre-baked pie crust and pour the vanilla pudding into it. Spread it evenly.
- Next, pour the chocolate pudding on top of the vanilla pudding and spread it evenly as well.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
- Top the pie with whipped cream before serving.
- You can use a graham cracker crust instead of a pre-made pie crust if you prefer.
- If you want to make the pie extra chocolatey, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the chocolate pudding mixture before pouring it into the pie crust.
Recipe 2: Easy No-Bake Chocolate Pudding Pie
This recipe is adapted from wellnessdove.com, and it’s perfect for those who don’t want to turn on their ovens. It’s just as delicious as the baked version, but requires much less effort.
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix (5.9 ounces)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and whole milk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream mixture into the pudding mixture until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Top the pie with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
Tips:
- You can use a chocolate graham cracker crust instead of a regular one for a more chocolatey flavor.
- Top the pie with chocolate shavings before serving for a fancy touch.
- If you want to make the pie extra rich, use half and half instead of whole milk.
Both of these chocolate and vanilla pudding pie recipes are amazing. Whether you prefer a baked pie or a no-bake pie, you can’t go wrong with either of these. Try them both and see which one you like better!
