Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 1 deep dish pie crust (9 inches)
*Whipped Cream
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Cream Pie Filling
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups of the above prepared whipped cream (or thawed Cool Whip)
Instructions
For The Pie Crust
- Bake pie crust according to package directions. Poke several holes in the crust with a fork before baking. Bake, then allow the crust to cool completely.
* For The Whipped Cream
- In a medium bowl using an electric mixer, whip 3 cups heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form about 5 minutes. Cover and chill whipped cream in fridge until ready to use. (This should make around 5 cups of whipped cream).
For The Chocolate Cream Pie Filling
- In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and chocolate chips, microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until all the chips are melted. If needed, microwave again for 10-second increments until melted.
- Slowly beat in the melted chocolate, and 3 cups of the whipped cream (or Cool Whip), into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Spread the chocolate filling evenly into the pie crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Spread the remaining whipped cream on top. Garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*Can substitute the whipped cream ingredients with 2 containers (8 ounces, each) Cool Whip, thawed
