Chocolate Espresso Pudding Pie

Chocolate Pudding is a classic dessert, and this is one pie you will want to put on your baking list!   

Homemade Chocolate Espresso Pudding Pie Recipe from @createdbydianeI have always loved chocolate pudding, at each and every holiday my mom would make chocolate pudding pie.

It was always my favorite and I wasn’t the only one either.

Pie for breakfast is underrated. I think since pudding has so much milk in it, it makes the perfect breakfast food.

I wanted to add some rich and delicious taste to the classic I remembered.

It worked! This pie is rich in chocolate taste and has just enough espresso in it, to have everyone curious what is making is so extra special.

 

One look and it looks like an ordinary chocolate pudding pie, but take one bite and you’ll know it’s special!

Bake the pie crust until it’s golden, this pie does not go back into the oven once it’s filled with pudding.

This recipe fits a regular 9 inch pie crust.

This pie will be so popular you may want to make 2 of them!

You can never have too much pie in my book.
