Tips for making Chocolate Cream Pie!
- I used a store bought pie crust. If you prefer to make your own, you can.
- A Oreo cookie crust would also be delicious with this pie.
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened so there are no little bits of cream cheese.
- I usually make my own whipped cream. But 2 containers of Cool Whip can also be used.
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!

You may be able to get two flatter pies out of it. Or you could fill one pie crust to the level of your liking. Then just put the leftover filling in small cups with some whipped topping for more of a chocolate mousse.
Do you know how to adjust for a regular pie crust? I bought the wrong one and I am home now. Would it make too this way?
Omg this is so easy to make!!!! It was delicious. Thank you!
Yes that is correct 🙂
Is it for unsweetened cocoa powder?
Today was the second time I made this pie. I followed the recipe exactly (minus the chocolate shavings on top) and it was every bit as awesome as the first time! It’s not too heavy. Just the perfect amount of chocolate flavor. Everyone LOVED it! Thank you for sharing this delicious dessert recipe. It’s one I’ll go to again & again!
Yes it can Jennifer 🙂
Yes I do it all the time. I usually just cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate and add whipped cream before serving.
Can this be made the night before the event it is needed for?
Can this be made a day ahead?
The chocolate doesn’t get that hot. Its only takes about a minute in the microwave and whisking cools it down fast.
Yes, its been fixed 🙂
the calories are 1855 per slice??? is that a typo??
Do you need to let the chocolate cool before adding the whipped cream?
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….
