Individual chocolate pudding pie

Being bored all day, I decided to make pie. Except since I wanted to conserve money, I created a pie made out of the ingredients in my house. However, when looking up some inspiration for chocolate pies, I noticed how LONG it takes for a crust (from scratch) to bake! I then decided to make individual pies so that I could eat them in the time span of a few hours instead of a day! It has the perfect chocolaty rich taste that all will love!
