Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients You’ll Need
  • Crust Base
  • Grab a ready-made graham cracker or Oreo pie crust to save time or make your own if you’re in the mood to DIY. Both work beautifully.
  • Cream Cheese
  • Full-fat cream cheese is the way to go here. It creates a creamy rich filling that pairs perfectly with chocolate.
  • Powdered Sugar
  • This fine sugar sweetens the filling smoothly. For the best texture sift it before mixing—no lumps allowed.
  • Cocoa Powder
  • Choose a good-quality cocoa powder for bold chocolate flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa delivers a deeper smoother taste.
  • Whipped Cream
  • Light and fluffy whipped cream keeps the pie airy. Homemade is ideal but store-bought works in a pinch.
  • Toppings Optional
  • Chocolate curls shavings, or sprinkles add flair and make the pie extra festive.

Method
 

1. Get the Crust Ready

Press your prepared crust into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure it’s snug and even. Making one from scratch? Crush about 24 Oreo cookies and stir them together with 5 tablespoons melted butter until evenly coated.

    2. Whip the Base

    In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until everything looks silky and well blended.

      3. Bring in the Chocolate

      Sift the cocoa powder directly into the bowl. Mix until the filling turns a rich chocolate shade and smells irresistible.

        4. Fold for Fluffiness

        Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula. Take your time—this step keeps the filling light and cloud-like.

          5. Assemble the Pie

          Spoon the chocolate filling into the crust and spread it evenly. Don’t stress about perfection—rustic works just fine.

            6. Chill and Set

            Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This helps it firm up and slice beautifully.

              Notes

              Customization Ideas

              Switch things up by using white chocolate instead of cocoa, or sprinkle crushed candy, mini eggs, or chocolate chips on top. Make it yours—Easter desserts should be fun.

              Storage Tips

              Keep the pie covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Skip reheating—this dessert shines best when served cold.

              FAQs

              Can I use different chocolate?
              Definitely. Milk or dark chocolate both work great and change the flavor profile slightly.
              How long does it stay fresh?
              Stored properly, it lasts up to five days in the refrigerator.
              Cream cheese substitute?
              Mascarpone is an excellent alternative if you want an even creamier texture.
