THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!THIS WAS GREAT!!!! A CHOCOHOLIC'S DREAM COME TRUE. ELIE SURE KNOWS HOW TO PACK ALOT OF FLAVOR WITH LESS CALORIES AND FAT. IT TASTED LIKE THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING MY MOM MADE WHEN I WAS A KID. MUCH BETTER THAN PACKAGED PUDDING.
delicious

This is the best chocolate pie I've had in years and I didn't have to feel guilty eating every delicious bite. I did cut the sugar in half because my husband is diabetic. It was still great. The chocolate is creamy and flavorful. Thanks for another great recipe Ellie.
Very good.

Thanks to previous comment, I dissolved the gelatin in cold water first (no clumping). I also thought I would save calories and forget the graham cracker crust - just served as "double chocolate homemade pudding". Delicious warm (as I was sampling) and good enough to serve to guests cold. Thanks!
chocolate!!!!!!

Light? Low-fat?

No offense to Ellie, because I normally like her recipes and ideas on cutting fat/calories. I was so excited to make this pie for my boyfriend, who is also trying to lose weight as well as myself, and promised him I would make something light. BUT one eight of this pie is 17 grams of fat...half of which are saturated fats. That's only 1/8 too...I know I'd eventually eat more than that. I mean, I love cutting out fattening ingredients if its well-worth it but I don't wanna eat a pie like that and still feel guilty. 17 grams of fat seems kinda standard for some pies and cakes that aren't light to begin with and taste better....like the marshmallow devils food cake that Entenmann's makes. If I'm gonna take the time to make something home-made and try to cut out fat, I wanna definitely cut out more fat than this.
Loved this pie!!

This pie was absolutely fabulous - my boyfriend is a choc-o-haulic, and it was the perfect cure!! I used skim milk instead of just low-fat, and didn't make any whipped cream, and it was just amazing - the crust was delicious, and the filling was SO rich with deep chocolate flavor. I can't wait to make it again!! Thanks again for a fabulous & healthy recipe, Ellie!!
good

Good consistency. I needed more graham crackers for the crust than what the recipe calls for.

I love to cook, but hate baking. That's reserved for my spouse. But this looked so easy, I decided to try it. I did use a pre-made graham cracker crust. I followed the rest of the recipe and it turned out wonderful. Oh sooooo yummy. My spouse was very impressed. I did also use the canned whipped cream. I highly recommend this for the non-bakers like me.
Mmmmm

I saw this on TV yesterday and made it today. It is very, very good and easy. It came out perfectly. Finally, a cook whose recipes I can make!

I always loved the cooked pudding better than the instant so I thought I'd give this a try. Homemade from scratch is some better, but I'd like to see the difference in ingredients between this recipe and the boxed because the taste, in my opinion, is similar with the exception of the more intense chocolate taste. Of course, I always prefer to cook from scratch and know exactly what's going into the pot.

I have tried numerous chocolate pie recipes and they never seem to set up enough. Using the gelatin was a first. I would use 2 tsp. of gelatin next time because the pie seemed to set up a little to firm. The taste was excellent. I love this recipe. Thank you Ellie.
yum

This is a great fix for a chocolate craving! The only thing I did different from hers is sub 1 cup of coffee for milk. It made the chocolate stronger tasting. I also used skim milk and cool whip. I didn't have any problems with the gelatin.
Another grand slam recipe!

Thanks Ellie for your wonderful recipes. This dessert is soooo satisfying and chocolaty! The first time I made it I used 1% milk as called for in the recipe and made it exactly as written. I was proud to bring it to my niece's house along with dinner as she had just lost a baby. The second time I made it I had to use rice milk because my son is milk allergic and it came out just as beautiful. And I didn't add the whipped cream to it. Easy and elegant. To the "anonymous" reviewer (1/15/07) who said it wasn't healthy, get educated, you probably overeat anyway, you wouldn't understand healthy eating. Everything in moderation, "usually, sometimes, rarely" is Ellie's motto. She isn't calling for 24 egg yolks like another chef did in a chocolate pudding recipe on Food Network. This is a healthy version of a decadent dessert! Like Ellie says, "I'll take a little bit of real whipped cream over chemical-laden nonfat whipped topping any day." Thanks again, Ellie, you rock!
pretty good

Taste was good, but not super. Her banana cream pie is more of a standout. I also had a hard time getting the slices out of the pan. It may be because I followed her method (against my better judgment) for the gelatin. A lot clumped up. Usually recipes call for sprinkling it over cold water, then adding it to the hot. I would recommend that. Look for graham crackers without trans fat (not all of them are). I added a couple of teaspoons of Frangelico for more flavor, Amaretto or Kahlua would be good too.
awesome

The pudding is the most delious pudding and fool proof. Like other's posted, this was the first time I made pudding from scratch. I used Dark Cocoa which made it super rich. Only problem, the crust, I will double the receipe next time as it wasn't think enough and left little holes on the bottom of the pie plate. I made this for company and was so mad when they ate it all!
Yummy

This pie was delicous and creamy. I really enjoyed baking the pie, it is the first time I have ever made a pudding from scratch. I understand that this recipe does have a minimal amount of butter and heavy cream, but when you are having a dessert then it is necessary to add these things. I made this pie for a party and everyone loved it.
Really good

This was the first time I ever made pudding from scratch, and it was delish. I didn't have bittersweet chocolate on hand, so I substituted dark instead. I thought it tasted fine. The crust was kind of bland, though, and I think I might add a tablespoon of sugar to it next time just so it has a little flavor. Otherwise, this was definitely a winner. The friends I made it for enjoyed it too.
Yummy!

This pie is definitely worth making. This is not an artery blocker. Everything in moderation is the key; this pie gives you a very chocolatey taste with less fat than most desserts. Unless you are an R.D. with a masters in nutrition and a professor of nutrition like Ellie, you should not throw darts! Ellie, you're the greatest, love your recipes!!
Worth the stir time

My boyfriend and I loved this pie...and even better than the pie...I had too much pudding for the crust and had enough for 2 servings and ate it warm. The warm homemade pudding reminded me of childhood days. The pie sat up great and was delicious. I will definitely hang on to this receipe. It's as good as others that are much more fattening and unhealthy. Thanks
Rich taste without the fat content

I'm not sure what the reviewer who says this is an artery clogger was thinking. Perhaps the reviewer didn't actually read the quantities carefully: 2 tablespoons of butter is excessive? Not in the least. And the heavy cream is an optional garnish, which I omitted. I made this over the weekend with three small children, one of whom is an early blooming chocoholic, and not only is the recipe easy enough that children can help, it's also DELICIOUS enough that they don't notice it's "health food." This is one of the best puddings I've ever had/made, all calorie and fat discussion aside. Who would make Jello pudding again if they tried this recipe once?

I wish that everyone who keeps criticizing Ellie's dessert recipes would stop! Of course, eating too much butter and heavy cream is unhealthy. However, Ellie's message and the message of every qualified nutritionist/dietitian today is that no food should be completely eliminated from an individual's diet. Rather, moderation is key! When you compare Ellie's dessert recipes to their traditional counterparts, there is always a noticeable difference in fat and Calories! Obviously, it goes without saying that you can't eat the whole pie in one sitting as part of a healthy diet, but a slice now and then is perfectly acceptable. And I thought that Ellie's pie was a tasty indulgence!

I saw this on your show last Sat & made it yesterday. Not only was it incredibly easy, I don't think I've ever tasted a better chocolate filling & for a 50+ year old & a chocoholic at that, this is quite a feat to pull off. BRAVO. Janet, Lynchburg VA
Absolutely delicious!

This was a huge hit in my & my husband's book (as well as a coworker who I shared it with today)! It was fairly easy to make, too. One of my husband's favorite pies is Marie Callendar's Chocolate Cream Pie and he said this was just as good, if not better. As to the reviewer who talked about how bad this dessert is for you, dessert is by its nature unhealthy. However, this recipe is a much healthier version of pudding pie (1% milk, only a "dollop" of whipped cream & 2 tblsp of butter for the whole crust!), but with all the wonderful flavor!
NOT healthy, don't even think about it

Let's see, heavy cream, butter, lots of saturated fat--- sounds more like an artery clogger than something healthy. This is a total sham, don't bother if you actually are interested in healthy eating.

This pie was easy to make and tastes great. My whole family loved it. I covered the whole pie with whipped cream and then topped with some chocolate shavings just to make it pretty and it turned out very nice. This recipe is a keeper for me!

This chocolate melted in my mouth. Silky smooth and strong in flavor. Mine topped with a couple semi-sweet morsels and added a chunky crunch contrast to the soft chocolate cream. Great Recipe. Realy easy to make.
