Easy Chocolate Cream Pie

By Addie

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!

My Chocolate Cream Pie recipe has become an instant favorite dessert for my Sweet B’s because it is delicious and because they know there’s a good chance that I’ll make it if I as. I keep these ingredients on hand and it just takes a bit to make. One ingredient I always have in my refrigerator is COOL WHIP, because a dollop of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping makes everyday snacks extra special! I’m so excited to share my fabulous Chocolate Cream Pie recipe with you today. I know you’ll love it!

Ingredients

• 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

Preparation

Step 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.

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.

Put the Chocolate Cream Pie in your refrigerator and let it chill until set. Before serving, garnish your pie with the rest of the COOL WHIP and some mini chocolate chips. Enjoy!
