This Chocolate Cream Pie is an old family recipe. Flaky, buttery crust with a lusciously creamy chocolate filling. Topped with a fresh whip cream is simply to die for! Perfect for both chocolate and pie lovers!
I used a regular pie crust, because that’s what I had on hand. Although it would also be fantastic in a chocolate cookie crust. I have a Old Fashioned Banana Cream Pie that is one of my most popular recipes on the blog.
I really can’t even tell you how amazing this pie is. Every time I make it I am always asked for the recipe. It comes together super fast . Perfect anytime of the year!

Yes Cindy store bought whipped cream will work fine 🙂
Sure Cindy that will work.
Can you use store bought whipped cream
When you make your own whipped cream it will make about 5-6 cups. Only 3 cups go into the pie the rest goes on top. Hope this helps Clelia 🙂
It says to put the remaining whipped cream on top but all 3 cups are used in the filling. Where is the extra whipped cream we are supposed to use?
Thank you for catching that Alaina, you add it in with the cream cheese and powdered sugar 🙂
When do you add the cocoa powder? It is not in the instructions….
