Chocolate Cream Pie
April 3, 2012 by Aimee • 46 Comments
One of my favorite desserts is Chocolate Cream Pie. I always order it when I visit one of my favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants on the town square in my hometown. A few months back, I surprised my family by trying to copycat the restaurant’s very delicious Chocolate Cream Pie. I am all about quick and simple recipes and this one is a perfect match for me! This is a great everyday treat! I’m so excited to share my fabulous Chocolate Cream Pie recipe with you today. I know you’ll love it!
You will need just a few ingredients: a package of cream cheese, a bit of sugar, some milk, COOL WHIP, a graham cracker crust, a package of instant chocolate mix and some miniature chocolate chips. Yep, that’s it!
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk until it’s smooth. Fold in 1 cup of COOL WHIP and spread evenly into crust.
Next, mix the pudding mix with the rest of the milk for 2 minutes and then let it sit for 2 minutes. Layer over the cream cheese mixture.
Chocolate Cream Pie
1/2 package (4 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1-3/4 cups milk, divided
2 cups whipped topping, divided
1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)
1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
Miniature semisweet chocolate chips, optional
1. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread evenly into crust.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk pudding mix and remaining milk for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Pour over cream cheese mixture. Chill until set.
3. Just before serving, garnish with remaining whipped topping and chocolate chips if desired. Yields: 6 servings.

Oh YUM! I could dive right into that pie.

Looks amazing! Tried this and added sliced ripe bananas…yum
Today….for PIE day! Our son in law is a math major, so I’ making this in honor of him!
Congratulations!! What a HUGE accomplishment…and a sweet mother in law! XO, Aimee
If you want to take this up a notch to something healthier, use cooking pudding. It has 1/3 the salt of instant.
I always order that pie when we eat lunch there. Thank you for sharing your recipe; think I’ll plan on making it for our Easter dessert.
Yummy! Have to try!
I make a version of this using choc. Jello instant pie filling, big box w/half the milk called for. Top w/cool whip, chopped walnuts, and shave a Hershey bar over whole thing. I like the Pet-Ritz pie crust. The choc. soaks into it. I will have to try yours also. Looks delish.
