*Hint: I have trouble with clumping in my pies. I have solved that problem by using lukewarm water and dissolving the dry milk powder in the water. Then I let it sit a few minutes while I measure out other ingredients to get them ready to put in the recipe. Then I mix the wet mixture in with the pudding. A story (sorry this is such a long post): I saw JoAnna make this pie one Saturday on PBS. That night my husband and I were watching a movie on TV. During a commercial I surprised him with a piece of this pie. He tasted it and said, "Ummmm. This is good.

Where did it come from?" I replied, "I made it during the last commercial!" I love JoAnnas philosophy - "If it takes longer to make it than to eat it, forget it!!" It is so cooling and refreshing and creamy and CHOCOLATEY..... mmmmmmmmmm "I freeze this pie (individual slices). When I want it, I set it out about 15-30 minutes ahead of time. Let it thaw enough to eat it. WOWSERS!!! Is it good!!! I reminds me of mint chocolate-chip ice cream and York Peppermint Patties. (I didnt tell my daughter that this pie is "healthy" - I just told her that its a mint chocolate chip pie - she loves it). " Maggie

I tried freezing this and it came out incredible! You can use any kind of instant pudding mix in this recipe as well as Lite or regular Cool Whip.
