Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill for Structure 🧊
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours before serving to allow the pudding to set completely and develop a firmer, more sliceable texture.
Chocolate Chip Suspension 🍫
Lightly toss the mini chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before folding into the pudding to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the pie.
Whipped Topping Technique 🥄
For a professional finish, use a piping bag with a star tip to create elegant swirls of whipped topping around the pie's edges and center.
Flavor Boost Hack 🌟
Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the pudding mix to intensify the chocolate flavor without changing the overall texture.
Storage Pro Tip 🧊
Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap when storing in the refrigerator, creating a small tent to prevent the whipped topping from sticking to the covering.
