Description

Chocolate cream pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any gathering or special occasion. This recipe takes the classic chocolate cream pie up a notch by adding cream cheese to the mix, resulting in a delicious and decadent treat. The chocolate flavor comes from a combination of cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips, while the cream cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor. Serve this pie with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for a truly special dessert.

Ingredients

For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir until all ingredients are combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Pour the crust mixture into the pie plate and use your fingers to press it into the bottom and up the sides of the plate. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
4. To make the filling, beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract, beating until all ingredients are combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
