This Easter egg chocolate pie recipe makes an easy and delicious sweet treat your whole family will love! It’s super easy and fast to make and it’s a great way to use extra chocolate you might have left over after Easter! You can also adapt this pie to use leftover chocolate from any holiday!
I don’t know about you, but after Easter there’s always that one bowl sitting on the counter with a bunch of random chocolate left in it! A few chocolate eggs, some candy nobody grabbed, maybe a handful of M&M’s. It’s too good to throw away… but also not super exciting just sitting there. That’s exactly why I started making this Easter egg chocolate pie recipe!
This is one of those recipes I pull out when I want something sweet but don’t feel like putting in a ton of effort. It’s really simple, no baking, and honestly kind of fun to throw together. I like how you can use whatever chocolate you already have, so nothing goes to waste.
The filling is super creamy from the cream cheese and pudding, and it sets up nicely in the fridge! I usually mix everything while I’m cleaning up the kitchen or doing dishes, then just layer it into the crust. Half the filling goes in, then I toss in those chopped chocolate eggs (this part is my favorite), and then cover it with the rest. It already looks pretty good at that point, but once you add the whipped topping and candies on top, it turns into something that feels a little special.
One thing I’ve learned — don’t skip the chilling time. I know it’s tempting to dig in early (I’ve done it), but it really does taste better once it’s had time to firm up. It slices easier too, which is helpful if you’re serving it to other people and not just sneaking bites straight from the fridge.
This Easter egg chocolate pie recipe isn’t just an Easter thing! You can totally swap in leftover Halloween candy, Christmas chocolates, or whatever you’ve got hanging around. It’s kind of one of those “use what you have” desserts that still feels like a treat.
Around here, this pie disappears fast! Like… faster than I expect every single time. If you’ve got extra candy sitting around, this is a really good way to use it up without overthinking anything.
You should definitely give it a try soon — it’s easy, it’s yummy, and it might just become your go-to for leftover chocolate too.

Interesting recipe! Definitely going to try this one out thi coming Easter Sunday.
Hi Tawra. I don’t have instant white chocolate pudding on hand.Are there other alternatives? What about gelatin?
Joan you don’t need to use white chocolate pudding you can use chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, etc. also I will put in a very easy recipe to make your own pudding from scratch if you don’t have any on hand. Gelatin would not really work because this is more of a creamy type of dessert and you won’t get the same texture or taste from it. Best Homemade Pudding
Also if you make the pudding from scratch then be sure to leave out the milk in the Easter Egg Pie recipe.
I want to try this, but what kind of chocolate eggs are used in this? I love your website and recipes!
Thank you Sandra. You can use any kind of the small chocolate Easter eggs they sell at Easter in the bags.
Looks delicious! Are the chocolate eggs used the small foil wrapped ones in a bag…like Hershey?
Yes you can use those Cindi or really any type of cut or crushed up and sprinkled on it. Other times of the year you can use chocolate chips too.
