Basic Chocolate Cream Pie Recipe Using Instant Pudding

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.


Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Check Out My eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
1 Pie Crust (prepared as directed or use ready-made graham cracker crust)
2 (3.4 to 3.9-oz.) chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
2 3/4 cups cold milk
1 cup whipped topping, thawed
(see my tips below)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Combine pudding mix and milk in large bowl.  Beat 2 minutes with wire whisk.

2:  Pour into pie shell. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until set.

3:  Top with whipped topping before serving. Garnish as desired. Store in refrigerator.

Darlene’s Tips: You can turn this into a layered pie by pouring about 1/2 the pudding into the pie pan then adding about 1/2 cup of whipped topping to the remaining pudding and mixing. Add that lighter layer of pudding to the pan and spread. Then top with whipped topping and spread.  For a more firm pie, reduce the milk to 2½ cups.  For chocolate whipped topping, save about 1/4 of pudding to mix into your tub of whipped topping and mix.

Caramel Cream Cheese Dip Recipe – Just 3 Ingredients

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.


Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Check Out My eBay Store!

INGREDIENTS:
check for ingredient coupons here
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme (like this)
3 tablespoons caramel topping
optional: dash of coarse salt, for topping
(see my tips below)

See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos!

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Mix cream cheese, marshmallow creme and 2 tablespoons of the caramel topping with electric mixer or by hand in medium bowl until mixed well and no lumps remain. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

2:  Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon caramel topping.  Sprinkle with sea salt before serving if desired.

Darlene’s Tips: To soften the cream cheese, just leave it at room temp for about an hour.  In a hurry?  Pop it in the microwave in a glass bowl and heat for 10 second intervals, checking after each, until softened.  You can use caramel syrup if you don’t have the thicker topping. Or you can skip the caramel and just make the cream cheese marshmallow dip.  Perfect for dipping fruit or spread on crackers. This might also make an unusual yet  super delish frosting for cookies, cakes or brownies!

1 pouch (17.5 oz)
1 pouch (17.5 oz)
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 cup Reese’s Pieces peanut butter candy or M&M candies
optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts of your choice

DIRECTIONS:

1:  Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl stir cookie mixes, butter and eggs until soft dough forms. Stir in candy pieces (and nuts, if desired).
