This is my first ever Chocolate Cream Pie. My mom's recipe uses the pudding-I asked her do I get the cook & serve or the instant? She said it depends on if you want to stand over the stove or not… I imagine she used instant, though I always love her pies. This year I'm sure she will be super impressed with my Chocolate Cream Pie!!! I just made the filling, and I didn't lick the bowl until the pudding was safely covered and in the fridge. Haha I knew if I tested it, it wouldn't make it into a crust on Wednesday! I can't wait for everyone to try it! And we are a New England family so it's always been home-whipped cream for the top, but I think I agree with RW that the 3 egg whites are left over specifically for a meringue. We'll see how it goes! Thanks so much KAF and KAF community! (Now I have to locate some pennies and get them washed!)
