How to Make It

Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

1. Prep the Crust
Start by crushing your cookies (or graham crackers) into fine crumbs. Mix them with melted butter until they’re well combined, then press the mixture firmly into a pie dish. Pop it in the fridge to set while you work on the filling.

2. Make the Chocolate Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined. This is where the chocolatey magic happens!

3. Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix—you want it light and fluffy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until it’s smooth and airy.

4. Assemble the Pie
Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a polished look, then refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let it set.

Pro Tips

• Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
• Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream—it helps the cream whip up faster and hold its shape.
• For a nutty twist, add a handful of finely chopped toasted hazelnuts to the crust.
• Don’t skip the chilling time—this pie needs time to set properly for that perfect silky texture.

Storage

• Store the pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
• This pie doesn’t freeze well due to the whipped cream, so it’s best enjoyed fresh!
