Cream Pies That Are Quick and Easy

These are great cream pies to make with your children and/or grandchildren. My grandson especially likes to help make the Hershey Chocolate Pie.

Bake your pie shells ahead of time. When you are ready, have the children join you in making the fillings. Then put in the refrigerator until dessert time. They will be so proud that they helped.
