Chocolate Desert Mix
Doesn’t have much of a chocolate flavor to it.
The McNess Pudding and Pie Mixes were first introduced in 1919. For years they were staples in kitchen pantries across the country. The taste was so delicious that restaurants would use the same mixes to create their pies.
After an absence of almost twenty years and after many customer requests, we’ve brought the dessert mixes back.
These are not instant mixes. They are cooked over the stove the old-fashioned way. You need to add your own sugar (or sugar substitute) to the mix. For pies, we recommend adding butter and egg yolks to create a richer dessert. (See recipe on the side of carton.)

We varied ever so slightly in the chocolate mix from the original formula by making it extra chocolatey by adding three different cocoas to the mix. Mmmmmm!

A Nostalgic Delight: McNess Dessert Mixes Are Back! I can’t express how thrilled I am that McNess has brought back their beloved dessert mixes! These were a staple in my family’s kitchen for generations—my mother, grandmother, and aunts all swore by them, and their pies were legendary. When I heard they were reintroducing the Cocoanut, Lemon, and Chocolate Dessert Mixes, I immediately ordered all three. And let me tell you—they did not disappoint! From the first bite, I was transported back to those family gatherings where every dessert was a masterpiece. The flavors are just as rich and authentic as I remember. The Cocoanut mix is perfectly creamy with that classic tropical twist, the Lemon is tangy and bright, and the Chocolate is indulgently rich and smooth. Thank you, McNess, for preserving this delicious piece of culinary history and bringing it back to life. These mixes are now a cherished addition to my pantry, and I can’t wait to share them with the next generation of my family. If you’re looking for unbeatable flavor and a touch of nostalgia, these dessert mixes are a must-have!
Thanks for coming back after all these years.
I made a chocolate pie and it was very good
This is the best pudding /pie filling ever.
Good as usual haven’t had this in a long time and it’s as good now as it was back then
Was almost as good as when my grandma sold and made it in 1960s
As always as in the past it is the best pudding around. I'm so glad the puddings are back.
My Mom sold McNess when I was a little girl (I'm 71 now) and the chocolate and lemon we're the favorites at our house. It's the only chocolate pie my husband will eat. We were very happy when we found out it was being sold again.
