What You'll Need

1 (9-inch) frozen ready-to-bake pie shell
1 (4-serving size) package instant chocolate pudding and pie filling
1 3/4 cup milk
1 (.25 ounces) envelope unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons hot water
4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar

What to Do

Bake pie shell according to package directions.
In a medium bowl, combine pudding mix and milk; mix well. In a small bowl, combine gelatin and hot water and beat with a fork until completely dissolved. Add to pudding mixture; mix well. Pour into pie shell; set aside.
Preheat oven to Hi Broil.
In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over top of pie filling, sealing to edge of crust.
Using a spatula, form peaks in meringue, and broil 2 to 4 minutes, or until meringue is golden. Let cool 10 minutes, then refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, or until pie is firm.

I followed instructions to the tee. WHAT HAPPENED....it never set up. Only milk we had was 1 or 2 %. I Have no idea what I did wrong. Any idea?

Hello! The Test kitchen is not sure why your pudding did not set up. If using gelatin, that always firms up whatever using it in. We do recommend using whole milk, not 1 or 2 percent, that could be the problem. Plus, try chilling pie for atleast 4 hours or until firm. Hope this helps!
