I have a pre-baked pie shell and I want to make it a chocolate cream pie. I have chocolate pudding and some prepared whipped cream. So do I put the chocolate pudding in first and then whipped cream on top of it? Or do I layer it, starting with whipped cream on the bottom? Any advice is appreciated.

Sounds exactly like my recipe! I normally just put the pudding as a base layer and then throw on a generous helping of whipped topping on top.

Good luck, I'm really envious of whoever the target is going to be, wish it were me!

I prefer to mix the ingredients up slightly. It seems a bit pointless to use something colourful like lemon, key lime or chocolate not hit the target's face, because the pie was completely covered in whipped cream.

Also, do you use pie crusts without the tin plate? I have heard if you bake the crust twice, it becomes more brittle, so makes a bigger mess with a pie hit. Can anyone else confirm that please?

I do use crusts without tins, but I've never baked them twice.

When I make my pies, I usually place aluminum foil on them and press it down and bake the crusts for about 8-10 minutes, then I take the foil off and bake them again until the crusts are browned, usually another 5-7 minutes. After letting them cool, most of the time I can remove them from the tin so they can be thrown. As far as filling, I usually portion out about an 1/2 to 3/4 cup of my filling and then top it with heavy whipping cream, usually 40% butterfat which I get at Costco.

If it's a goal to get the person's clothes messy as well, I put in some chocolate syrup and heavy cream (unwhipped) on top of the pudding but under the whipped cream.

After the splat, this liquidy goo drips down all over the target and makes a bigger mess.
