Simple Ingredients You Need For The Chocolate Pudding Pie Recipe

You will need the following wholesome ingredients listed below to make the homemade pudding recipe (the exact measurements and instructions, nutrition information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Crushed graham crackers – for that classic pie crust crunch.
• Chocolate Fairlife milk – extra protein and ultra-creamy. Can use regular chocolate milk or whole milk if preferred.
• Chocolate instant pudding mix – the base of that smooth, rich filling.
• Chocolate protein powder – adds a boost of protein and deepens the chocolate flavor.
• Plain Greek yogurt – makes the pudding thicker and more indulgent.
• Cool Whip – the perfect fluffy topping. Can use homemade whipped cream as well.
• Optional toppings – chocolate shavings, mini chips, oreos, or crushed graham crackers.

How To Make

1. Prep the base: Divide crushed graham crackers evenly between small mason jars, pressing gently to form the crust layer.
2. Make the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together chocolate Fairlife milk and the instant pudding mix for about 2 minutes, until thickened.
3. Add the protein twist: Whisk in the chocolate protein powder and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble: Spoon the pudding mixture over the graham cracker base.
5. Top it off: Add a generous layer of Cool Whip on top.
6. Finish strong: Sprinkle with chocolate chips, shaved chocolate, or more graham crumbs. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving (if you can wait that long).

Tips And Tricks For Best Results

• Make sure the pudding thickens before adding the protein and yogurt — this keeps the texture perfect.
• For extra crunch, mix a bit of melted butter into the graham cracker crust before pressing them down.
• Use clear jars so you can see those dreamy layers.
• If you want to go extra fancy, add a drizzle of melted chocolate or Nutella between layers.

Storing Leftovers

Store in the fridge, covered, for up to 3–4 days. They’re best cold, straight from the jar — and yes, breakfast dessert totally counts.

FAQs

Can I make this homemade chocolate pudding ahead of time?

Yep! These jars actually taste even better the next day once the flavors set.

Can I use a different milk in this chocolate pudding pie?

You can, but Fairlife makes it extra rich and high-protein — totally worth it.

What kind of protein powder works best?

Whey or a whey blend mixes in super smooth. Plant-based protein might make it thicker, so adjust with a splash more milk if needed.
