Happy Thanksgiving!
Last night we decided to make a quick chocolate pudding pie. We didn't have our usual camera equipment so we shot this post with an Iphone 3G.
We love chocolate pudding and we love pie crust. This is a super simple recipe and it tastes great!
Also - we researched online for a soy based whipped cream recipe for the pie - so take a look at what we found and some of the ways we modified it!
We hope you enjoy it and that you have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Very simple pudding recipe. Add soy milk to My*T*Fine pudding & Pie filling.
Alexa working the stove!
Here is the box
Keebler Ready Graham Crust has no dairy and is delicious! Plus it comes in a pan so it's super easy and no clean up!
So simple - just add soy milk!
Alexa had to stir for a while but was a trooper!
Pour pudding in the pie crust and place in the fridge for a few hours.

Alexa likes Chocolate Chips on her pie. We use Enjoy Life dairy free semi-sweet chips.
These chips are great on ice cream, for cookies - anything!
Since Emma doesn't like chocolate on chocolate [Yep! You read this right - there is such thing as too much chocolate for Emma :)] Alexa decorated just her half of the pie with chips.
A lot of chips!
Whipped cream! Our mom made a yummy soy based whipped topping. See recipe below!
Blog Pause: Hah! Mom poured whipped cream on Emma's face!
Emma is half laughing and half licking her face! :)
Alexa eating up her pie!
Overall - we loved this pie - it has a rich chocolate taste and you can decorate it in so many ways. We were very excited for our dessert and hope you all like it as much as we had fun making it and eating it. As you can see, there is a lot of extra pie - so we will have leftovers for a few days. Yum!
Soy based whipped cream recipe:
Modified from: http://www.godairyfree.org/Recipes/Cream-and-Butter-Subs/Soy-Whipped-Cream-Vegan-Gluten-Free.html
Ingredients:
· 1/4 cup soy milk
· 1/2 cup vegetable oil
· 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
· 1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract (if you use vanilla soy milk, you can omit this)
Directions:
Place soymilk and 1/4 cup vegetable oil in blender. Blend at highest speed and slowly drizzle in remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Blend in maple syrup and vanilla, add a little more oil if necessary to thicken. This makes enough topping for one pie, or crisp, or angel food cake, or, well you get the picture.

I would go a little lighter on the oil, use confectioners sugar and possibly cut some of the syrup…Also I left it in the blender longer than directed and blended at a higher speed.
ENJOY!
