One of my favorite things do for family functions is bake a dessert, like this Jello Pudding Pie. However, I don't always have time to bake, and let's face it, sometimes it's just too hot in Miami to slave away over a hot oven before dinner or a family gathering!
So during the summer, I tend to look for desserts that require less cooking. Ice cream, puddings, gelatins and things of that sort are a great way to still have a treat after dinner without overheating!
Ever since I was a little girl, my family has used COOL WHIP Whipped Topping to make desserts more special. My mom used to add COOL WHIP to our pudding and gelatin to give them a little something extra, and that evolved into one of our favorite family desserts...

Easy Summer Chocolate Pudding Pie Recipe
Chocolate pudding pie!
This is one of the easiest desserts ever! After coming home from a crazy weekend in Orlando with the kids, I wanted a really nice dessert to surprise my sister with as a thank you for house sitting for me.
House sitting for me isn't an easy feat - I have three very needy dogs and three cats...plus I am currently fostering three foster kittens. She really had her hands full!
Of course there are other ways I thank her for house sitting, but nothing says THANK YOU quite like a chocolate pudding pie for dessert, don't you think?

What size pudding box is that? I know it says large, but I'm wondering the exact measurement.
I have two regular size boxes. Would I need all of both?
Jennifer Quillen
I used a 5.9 ounce box
Kris
Does this dessert need to be chilled in the refrigerator before serving? If so, for how long?
Jenn
Yes, it needs to be chilled until the pudding has set, usually about 3 hours.
