Delicious and very easy.
Chocolate lovers rejoice! I followed the recipe exactly and served it as directed in Step 3. German Sweet Chocolate Pie was a huge hit with my family! This recipe is far superior to a pudding mix pie. I thought it was very easy to put together. Not every supermarket carries the German’s Sweet Chocolate bar. But, I am very happy that I went to a second store to pick up the ingredient. Thank you VTGIRL22 for sharing this five star recipe!!
I made this for my son’s birthday as we all wanted something lighter than cake. I increased the recipe by half and divided it into 2 – 8 inch chocolate cookie pie crusts. Then I topped it with a thin layer of cool whip, drizzled Hershey syrup on top and sprinkled with mini-chocolate chips. It no only tasted divine, it looked pretty too!
I made this recipe, but I changed the chocolate I used 2 symphony bars for the German sweet chocolate. It was awesome!!
I’m not sure how to review it since I didn’t actually follow the recipe completely. I misread it and bought heavy whipping cream, rather than cool whip. When I realized what I had done, I was already too far into it. So, I whipped up the cream, added some sugar, and used that instead. Since it isn’t as dense, I used more than I would have cool whip but honestly, I don’t know how much, I just “eye balled” it. It was delicious. I am not a fan of cool whip so I am guessing I would not have even tried it if I had noticed prior to starting it. I will definitely make it again and will continue to use whipping cream rather than cool whip.
Altered slightly but still my boyfriend says it was good.
This is delicious!! My son is crazy about French silk pie and this has a similar yet lighter chocolate flavor. I did not use 12 oz Cool Whip, I used the 8 oz tub. I was worried about it at first but there was plenty of filling and I think the chocolate flavor might have even been lost with more cool whip. Will definitely make this again! Very easy! Perfect to make in the morning for a party in the afternoon ??
Followed this recipe to the T. It turned out wonderful and was so easy to make! I will definately make this again!
Very tasty, next time I’d like to see how it turns out with dark chocolate and/or a little Baileys added
It actually turned out as pretty as in the picture! And it was surprisingly easy to make. I substituted a chocolate graham crust and sugar free whipped topping.
This pie is addicting! I used bittersweet chocolate since that is what I had, but it was wonderful!
One of our favorites!
This is a great pie! I made two of them for our annual fair cafe. Everyone loved it. Couldn’t asked for an easier pie that everyone will like.
It was good, but I made mine with an oreo crust rather than graham cracker. I think it could be better without as much whipped cream, next time I make it I’ll probably try 2-2 1/2 cups rather than the full 3 1/2. If you put too much whipped cream, the filling ends up tasting like cool whip with chocolate syrup added to it. Let the chocolate speak for itself! But it’s worth another try and it’s easy to make!
Oh, German Sweet Chocolate Pie, how do I love thee? Let me count the yummy ways.
This is one of hubbys fave desserts and I do remember my mom making this when I was a kid…I used skim milk, low fat cream cheese, fat free whipped topping and a reduced fat graham cracker crust. Made the day before serving. Nice Fathers Day dessert….yummy and thanks!
I only gave 4 stars because I didn’t follow the recipe exactly. I made some changes based on what I had on hand & it turned out great! I didn’t have German chocolate, so I used Andes chocolate mint pieces and a touch of peppermint extract. I crushed some Girl Scout thin mint cookies and stirred them into the cream cheese mixture. It was truly delicious, creamy, and refreshing on a hot Texas summer night.
This looks delicious! I have a very similar recipe, that always gets comliments: http://treatsanddesserts.blogspot.com/2012/01/chocolate-mousse-pie.html enjoy!
Yum! Except I used a chocolate cookie pie crust, thought it would suit it better. Thank-you 🙂
I have made this pie several times now, exactly as written, and always get compliments and requests to make it again. The filling is pretty versatile too, my daughter and I have filled krumkake with it and it was delicious! I bet it would be great in a puff pastry as well.
Let me just say this was THE most delicious and creamiest chocolate pie that has ever touched my lips! It will be enjoyed by my family for years to come. I made two, we are dessert happy people and there are a lot of us, and I wanted to try two kinds of pie crust with it, they both were amazing! Graham Cracker crust and a cream cheese crust (amazing and SO easy!) I recommend a slice of each!
