Ingredients

  • 1 deep dish pie crust (9 inches)
*Whipped Cream
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate 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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
*Whipped Cream
  1. 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).
Chocolate Filling
  1. In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Slowly beat in the melted chocolate, and 3 cups of the whipped cream (or Cool Whip), into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
  4. 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!
