"Phyllis Roberts, the mother of food editor Melissa Roberts, was a working mom who cooked dinner every night, including salad and dessert. One of Melissa's favorite treats was chocolate cream pie, made with My*T*Fine boxed pudding. In honor of her mother, Melissa has updated this dessert with a flaky piecrust and a filling of rich, homemade chocolate pudding (which is as easy to make as, well, pie). Finally, she crowns it all with drifts of whipped cream and chocolate shavings...."
