Dark Chocolate Cream Pie

Dark Chocolate Cream Pie - So let’s chat about this pie for a few moments. This pie is all about easy. The schools have got me pegged and when Pi (Pie) day is around the corner, you get the call. I made 5 different pies for Pi day This one, was so light, so rich in flavor, and so easy to make, I just had to share it first.

INGREDIENTS
1 ready made graham cracker crust
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups sweetened dark chocolate, chopped (or you can use the baking chips)
1/3 cup heavy cream (milk can be substituted)
8 ounce container of Cool Whip


INSTRUCTIONS
Melt chocolate and cream in the microwave for about 45-60 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir until chocolate is completely melted, creating a chocolate ganache, if needed heat for an additional 10 seconds.
With a mixer, cream softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Add chocolate ganache, reserving out about 1/4 cup for the drizzle on top of your pie, and mix again till all combined.
Still using the mixer, on low speed, add in Cool Whip. Once combined, pour filling into crust.
To drizzle chocolate. If chocolate has thickened, place back in microwave for 10-15 seconds to liquify. Place melted chocolate in a plastic bag and then cut a small hole in one corner of the bag. Drizzle chocolate over pie in the pattern of your choice.
Refrigerate pie for at least 4 hours before serving.
