Our pie is made with mascarpone cheese, instant pudding and can be made with either a vanilla or chocolate instant pudding and any kind of crust homemade or store-bought.
I am a big fan of coconut cream pie and made both styles today, with chocolate almond joy instant pudding and vanilla and adding coconut to the filling.
My favorite is vanilla with chocolate with a regular graham cracker or Oreo crust either one is delicious or you can even bake a regular refrigerator dough pie crust which is also super yummy.
This pie is mixed in with a fluffy whipped topping to give you the creamiest slice of Almond Joy heaven.
Toasting the almonds and coconut quickly in the microwave gives this pie all the characteristics and delicious flavors of the famous candy bar then drizzle with a delicious hot fudge sauce.
This is one of those pies everyone thinks it's gourmet because it's so rich and decadent but oh so easy peasy.

Filling and Crust Tips
It's really a preference what instant pudding you prefer.
There are several you can choose to experiment with coconut, vanilla, almond joy, mounds bar, all are instant pudding flavors found on the shelves in a local supermarket.
Since I have tried them all, I prefer vanilla and adding regular coconut and make the topping more of the almond joy flavor.
The crust can be chocolate, graham cracker crust, pretzel crust, or just a store-bought refrigerated pie crust, the adaptions are to what your family likes.
Mascarpone cheese is light and creamy which I really love but in a pinch, use whipped cream cheese, which will taste great as well.
