Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix Other flavored pudding mixes can also work in a pinch.
  • 2 cups Cold Milk Whole milk is best for richness.
  • 1/4 cup Molasses Dark corn syrup can substitute for a lighter taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Try pumpkin pie spice for a more complex flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg Freshly grated nutmeg gives a superior flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger Ginger syrup can be used if fresh ginger is not available.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves Feel free to omit if a milder flavor is preferred.
Whipped Topping
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Stabilized whipped topping can be used for convenience.
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar Granulated sugar is a substitute but may require more beating.
Pie Crust
  • 1 9-inch Pie Shell A pre-baked crust is necessary since the filling is uncooked.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • electric mixer
  • spatula
  • 9-inch Pie Dish

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Blind bake the pie crust for 10-12 minutes until golden. Allow to cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until smooth, then let sit for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture. Pour the filling into the cooled pie shell.
  6. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the pie and sprinkle with nutmeg if desired.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to set before serving.
