Chocolate Cream Pie

cream cheese

sugar

cocoa powder

milk

vanilla extract

store-bought chocolate

heavy cream

chocolate,

Beat the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the cocoa powder, milk and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. 

Beat the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a second medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then spread over the cream cheese layer. Top with shaved chocolate.

I’ve been making this pie at Thanksgiving and Christmas for the past couple of years. It’s easy to make and a crowd pleaser. 

I was looking for a quick way to use up heavy cream. This was everything I wanted. I did the online "watch class" and someone asked the instructor a question; can the heavy cream mixture be put into the cream cheese chocolate part of the pie instead of on top? The answer was "yes", to fold it into the chocolate part of the pie. I elected to do this and it worked out great. Made it lighter, a delicious dessert. I had a graham crust. 

Sounds like a great idea for me who is kitchen illiterate for my first journey into the kitchen wish me luck 

This pie was very tasty! Read the reviews before I made the pie and added a little bit of sugar and decreased the cocoa powder slightly, I also made my own crust with chocolate teddy grahams, sugar, and butter. Made Alton Browns recipe for whipped cream with a little vanilla extract added. And I shaved up a chocolate bunny for the topping. Will definitely make again.  This pie is amazing!!!  

Made this recipe 3 times now and love it. Super easy to make this. Recipe I will save forever

I've made this twice now. I don't understand all of the negative reviews. It's a little bitter for me but I am using unsweetened cocoa powder and she does say you can use sweetened or unsweetened. I think i will add a bit more sugar next time. I also double the chocolate part of the pie as it's just not that much with one block of cream cheese, etc. Also, I used crumbled up chocolate peanut butter oreos for the crust and put a bit of peanut butter in the whipping cream. Peanut butter whipped cream is so good and the peanut butter flavor really adds another layer to the pie. 

This is a very easy chocolate cream cheese pie. I added the heavy cream to the chocolate filling mixture. It is very light and fluffy. I did however add a little bit more cocoa powder as I think the cream diluted the chocolate flavor a bit. I will make this again for sure.

My new favorite dessert!  Made this for my wife, daughter and myself while under self quarantine and it was all gone by the next morning. The ONLY thing I changed was to use half and half instead of milk and half the whipped cream recipe.  This was the easiest recipe I’ve ever used and was delicious!  Can’t wait to make again.  Thanks Arlyn!

This is my go-to dessert recipe especially when I want something super quick and easy.  Even the kids love it!  So creamy and chocolatey and creamy, a nice balance.  

Cream cheese taste was over powering. Won’t make again.  

Very yum. Slightly sour tast but still very yum.

Was easy to make but had a sour taste to the chocolate pie filling. Won't make it again. 

This is a terrible recipe.  The taste is sour and the pie does not set.  Please take this recipe down from the site.  It is not worthy and will waste your ingredients.  This will go into the trash.

rich taste; not to sweet. Just the way i like my dessert if I'm going to have any. 5 Star for certain. 

This pie filling WILL. NOT. SET.  It would almost make a decent pudding if not for the fact that it's horribly bitter.  Don't waste your time.

Super delicious and easy to make!  Made it several times and always came out perfectly, following the recipe exactly as written.  Cream cheese was just about room temperature, not softened in the microwave or anything.

I did an extra 1/4 c. of sugar in the pudding recipe and I had some whipping cream and used that instead of milk….oh good Lord it's good! I had to add some more cream to thin it out a little but man it's good.  

I wish I had read the reviews. I didn't have any trouble with it being runny but it was way too bitter. Had to add more sugar and more milk. Still its just "okay" tasting. Will never make this again. If you do make it cut way back on the cocoa powder

Needs at least 4 more tablespoons of sugar in the chocolate mixture, and at the minimun 3 more tablespoons of sugar in the whipped cream!

Cool, creamy pie. Using Cocoa gave it a different kind of chocolate taste. Beware of the instructions &amp; don't do what I did...I dumped all the ingredients in a bowl as suggested, then began using hand mixer...wrong!...cocoa powder w/milk flew up out of the bowl everywhere in my kitchen...even on me &amp; my clothing...took longer to clean everything up than make the pie...geez!

I followed the recipe and the filling did look a little thin. So I added about a dozen crushed up Oreos to the mixture, then put it in the fridge for a few hours to set up. The crumbs softened up, melted right in and tightened up the filling perfectly for slicing. Instead of making whipped cream from scratch, I used canned fresh whipped cream on top of each slice. Perfect.

Delicious! I followed the recipe. If yours came out too runny the only thing I can think is that maybe you heated to soften your cream cheese first? Or measured out the wrong amount of milk or cream.I changed it up just a tad. I used half and half and cream (a little more H&amp;H than cream in place of the milk. Very nice recipe, easy and tasty. 

Cut back on the cocoa powder, 1/3 cup gave it a bitter after taste.  I had to add 1/2 cup powdered sugar to the pie filling mix and it was still slightly bitter tasting.  Cut down on the heavy cream, way too much for toppping this pie, half the amount would bebetter.  The topping was twice as high as the pie itself and unless you LOVE whipped cream it is over powering.

VERY GOOD FOR THE EASE IN MAKING.  For those of you who have had problems with the whipped topping, I would suggest that you just use Cool Whip.  Of course, it doesn't taste as wonderful as true whipped cream, but it's just fine.  Cool Whip makes a "Lite" topping that is very good as well.  It also makes one that is "Extra Creamy" that is even better.  Our family consists of just two old folks, so we couldn't possibly eat the whole pie in one day.  That is another reason I use Cool Whip and just put it on the piece of pie when it is served.  

Super Easy and delicious.  OI love to cook, but HATE to bake, so am always looking for simple recipes.  My 9 year old son made the batter, came out perfect with just a hand mixer.  I did use my Kitchen Aid to make the whipped topping, just to save time and a real work out on my arm.  Served for Memorial Day and it was a real hit.  This is a keeper.

I added chopped walnuts for little cruncb and drizzled with caramel sauce. Keep changing the game up.<br />

I made this pie for Thanksgiving and it was the first to go!! I used a regular pie crust since that's what my grandmother always used and also substituted heavy cream for the milk. definitely a keeper!!

The pie itself is a great recipe! Really fast, simple, and good! I did substitute heavy cream for milk to get a thicker consistency. My main problem was with the whipped topping recipe. If you don't have an electric mixer, be prepared for a killer arm work out! I added extra sugar to help thicken it (and a little vanilla for taste and had to beat for almost a solid 10 minutes. Then I let my husband beat for another 5 minutes! Only then did it have a good, thick, whipped consistency! 

Easy and good! And chocolatey. We rarely finish desserts in our house but me and my boyfriend inhaled this one. YUM!

I like this recipe a lot. I use it often for a quick and easy dessert. People complain about it being runny but I always chill the pie before I top it with whip cream. If you want it less cheesecake-like, I fold in some whipped cream and it makes it more like a mousse. 

Holy decadence!!  This is deeeeelicious and so very easy to make.  A little goes a long way!!  :

I've been making this pie for some time, it's quick and easy and it does taste like chocolate cheese cake. Instead of using milk in the filling I always use heavy cream. Most cream pies usually do turn out better and less runny if you use heavy cream. Too keep the whipped cream topping from getting runny I always add some unflavored gelatin dissolved in a small amount of milk. Too really jazz it up try coarsely crushing a couple of chocolate covered English Toffee bars and fold them in the filling once it's made.

Excellent. For those of you that had a runny pie, be sure that heavy cream is ice cold and beat on high in a chilled bowl. Adding a little vanilla to the cream makes it even better.

Too runny--and I followed the instructions meticulously!  Will pour it over ice cream to serve.

I loved it! It was my first time making a pie and i will never stop making it! I used the oreo crust recipe and it helps if you mix the whip cream for a long time. People say it doesnt work but it helps if you have beaters. 

I tried to make this but I just couldn't get the batter to thicken. I added some egg whites whipped to try to fluff it up but it didn't work. So I added 4 heated marshmallows to see if it would get fluffy, but t didn't work. So can someone please tell me ho to get it to be fluffy..........PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!  :    

Made this last night for my Fiance and brother. They liked it. It does taste like chocolate cheesecake! It was good and easy. I accidentally dropped my crust so it broke...so i mixed the chocolate crust that didnt fall on the ground with some crushed up oreo's, some butter and made that the crust. That was Good!!!<br />The WHIPPED TOPPING- tried to mix it and whip it and it came out soupy all three times I tried it. So i just drizzled a little on the top.<br />In a pinch or if you don't have time to make a very intricate dessert this is good and only takes about 10 minutes.  

I thought it was a good dessert really easy to make.

I thought it tasted more like a chocolate cheesecake.  Very good recipe considering how quickly it came together.  I put it in a homemade oreo pie crust (16 oreos and 3 tablespoons melted butter.

This pie is delicious and so easy to make. I have used a plain chocolate crust and also an Oreo crust. I like the Oreo one better. I made it first on Easter. On Memorial Day, my family requested that I bring this again. Now the 4th is here and this pie still made the "requests list". I like to make it the day before the event. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

Super easy and totally delicious. I made it at the last minute for a dinner guest and she loved it! 

It was really easy and my whole family liked it!

Iit was very sweet!too sweet for my taste and i usually love really sweet things the only thing that i really like about this recipe was the whip cream i never made it from scratch before i came out so Delicious i will definitely make the whipping cream again for other desserts!

This was super easy to make and it came together quickly.  It was amazing!  I will most definitely be making this again.
