Oh no, that’s so frustrating! It might be that the pudding didn’t get thick enough on the stove. Try cooking it a bit longer until it’s nice and thick—like when it sticks to the back of a spoon. And letting it chill in the fridge for a good few hours (or even overnight) can do wonders for setting it up. Don’t worry, you’ve got this! Your next pie is going to be spot on!

It sounds like your chocolate pudding pie might need a bit more thickening. This can happen if the pudding didn’t cook long enough or if it didn’t set properly. Make sure to let it cool completely in the fridge to firm up. If it’s still runny, you might need to add a bit more cornstarch or a thickener next time. Hope this helps!

One possible reason your chocolate pudding pie turned out runny is because of over-mixing. You might have overmixed the pudding after it thickened. Next time, make sure to avoid stirring or whisking the pudding too much.
