A delicious pie recipe kids can make, today’s Rainbow Pie is a fun twist on a Jello Chocolate Pudding Pie with a buttery, flakey pie crust and a colorful rainbow fruit topping. It’s a perfect easy dessert for St Patrick’s Day or any occasion that calls for a rainbow treat!

Easy Chocolate Pudding Pie Recipe

When I suggested to my daughter that we make a Jell-O Chocolate Pudding Pie she was soooo excited… but when I started explaining the chocolate graham cracker crust she protested!

Graham cracker crust is for cheesecakes, apparently, and pies require, well, pie crusts.

It’s a departure from the original but it actually really works!

The buttery, flakey pie crust pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate pudding and the the medley of tart and sweet rainbow fruits decorating the top.

It just goes to show you that sometimes following your kids’ crazy kitchen ideas can actually turn out pretty good.

Sometimes.

If you don’t plan to enjoy this pie on the same day that you make it, wait to add to the cut fruit topping as it will wilt if left for more than a few hours in the fridge.

Pie Plate
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Kid-safe Knife
