Reviews
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!!!
Easy and delicious!
So easy and delicious!
Easy and delicious
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.
