Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding Pie

In honor of our beloved Gramps, George Strother Givens,  we are making his famous Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding Pie for dessert today.   I never wrote down the recipe, so every time I would make it I would call him up and he would tell me the recipe.  I don't have him to go to anymore, but am finally going to write his recipe down now :)  He made it sugar free because his wife Ruby Mae was a diabetic, personally I prefer sugar free to regular because after years of eating it that way, the regular pudding is too sweet for my taste.  But if the thought of "Sugar Free" makes you cringe, by all means make it the good old fashioned way.  I prefer using low fat / low sugar versions of certain foods because that is just what I am used to.  But if you prefer the good old regular versions of these ingredients, by all means use it.
