The recipe calls for a 3.9 ounce package of instant pudding mix, with 1 1/2 cups of milk. Doing it this way results in a thick glob. Looking for another recipe.

I am Melissa who submitted this pie recipe and when I did I use instant chocolate mousse but they said most people dont have that, but now I know its out there... So try it with the Mousse it will help with the runny filling

I plan on making this buy using the cook n serve chocolate pudding instead of the instant , also using half and half for part of the milk . I think with these changes it will not be runny at all.

Turned out runny. Very embarrassing when I was serving it my in-laws. Also too sweet.

A bit too sweet for me.

Persistence pays off with this pie. I used regular pudding for the first one and it was so runny it ended up in the garbage. Second time around, I used chocolate fudge instant pudding and got better results. It's a very refreshing dessert - will make it again!

To make a firmer pudding for the pie you need to make sure that you milk is at least 2%. The less fat in the milk the thinner the pie will be!
