Ingredients
Whipped Cream
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Filling
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1½ cups powdered sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
3 cups prepared whipped cream (from above batch)
1 (9-inch) deep dish pie crust, baked and cooled
Instructions
  • Prepare the Crust
    Bake the pie crust according to package instructions.
    Tip: Use pie weights or poke holes with a fork to prevent bubbling. Let it cool completely.
  • Make the Whipped Cream
    Using an electric mixer, whip 3 cups heavy cream with ⅓ cup powdered sugar on high until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes). Chill.
    This yields 5–6 cups—reserve 3 cups for the filling and the rest for topping.
  • Make the Chocolate Filling
    In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
    Melt chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave (30 sec, then 15-sec intervals until smooth). Stir well.
    Add the melted chocolate and 3 cups whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully combined.
  • Assemble the Pie
    Spread the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust.
    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
    Before serving, top with the remaining whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or curls.
    Storage Tips
    Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
    Best served cold—no need to freeze!
    Tips for Success
    Make sure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
    Use real whipped cream for ultimate creaminess, but store-bought whipped topping can be used in a pinch (2 tubs).
    Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to deepen flavor if desired.
    For a shortcut, use a pre-baked graham cracker crust it works wonderfully too!
