Description
A deliciously rich chocolate cream pie that is easy to make and a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole Pie Crust (or you can use Oreo or Graham Cracker Crust, baked and cooled)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate bars (chopped finely)
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream or milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream or 2–8 ounce containers of Cool Whip
Instructions
- Using a mixer, whip 2 cups of the heavy whipping cream until you get medium to stiff peaks, creating whipped cream heaven and set aside.
- Melt chocolate and 1/3 heavy whipping cream for 45-60 seconds in microwave.
- Whisk together chocolate and cream until chocolate is completely melted, making a chocolate ganache, set aside.
- Using a mixer, cream the cream cheese and powdered sugar together well.
- Measure out 1/4 cup of the chocolate ganache and set aside for drizzle.
- Add the other 3/4 chocolate ganache to the cream cheese/powdered sugar mixture and mix until well blended.
- Mix in a heaping 1/3 of the whipped topping to the chocolate mixture and mix until combined, then pour filling into pie crust and smooth out.
- Spoon out remaining whipped cream on top of the pie and frost.
- Drizzle the remaining chocolate on top of the pie by cutting a small hole in the corner of a ziploc bag. Add chocolate into the bag and drizzle chocolate over whipped cream. If chocolate has thickened, place back in microwave for 10-15 seconds to liquify.
- Refrigerate pie for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- This pie is best served chilled.
- You can use store-bought crust for convenience.
- For a sweeter pie, feel free to add more powdered sugar to the filling.
