Impress your friends and family with this delicious Mocha Pudding Pie. They will never have to know how easy it is to whip together.
This Mocha Pudding Pie combines the flavors of chocolate and coffee in one delicious no-bake pie. It’s great for sharing, but tastes so good you might want it all for yourself.
All it takes is a little Cool Whip and a box of JELL-O to make delicious pudding pies. (If you don’t eat chocolate, then be sure to check out my recipe for Strawberry Cream Cheese Pudding Pie.)
The base of my pudding pies is made with a box of JELL-O pudding and an 8-ounce carton of Cool Whip. The pies are a cinch to make and you could easily adapt the base recipe to suit your tastes.
How To Make Mocha Pudding Pie
To make my Mocha Pudding Pie, you need the following:
- half-and-half
- espresso powder
- 1 small package (3.9 oz) JELL-O Chocolate instant pudding mix
- 2 small containers (8 ounces each) Cool Whip
- a chocolate cookie pie crust
- chocolate covered espresso beans and chocolate shavings
You start by adding espresso powder to the half-and-half. That’s the mocha part of the pie. Once the espresso has dissolved, slowly add the box of pudding.
Now it’s time to bump up the speed a little and beat the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes. You want it to be nice and smooth.
Next, fold in one container of Cool Whip that has been thawed in the refrigerator. Pour the pie mixture into the pie crust.
The last step before freezing is to add the decorative edging around the rim of the top. Take the other carton of Cool Whip and place it in a pastry bag that has been fitted with a decorator tip. (I like to use a tip with a large opening.)
Now you are ready to freeze the pie. Allow the pie to firm up in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
For a final touch, top the pie with chocolate-covered espresso beans and chocolate shavings.
