Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- as needed chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream and the powdered sugar using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate it. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and whole milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
Spread the pudding layer on top of the chocolate cream cheese layer.
Whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks. Spread this whipped cream over the pudding layer.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or curls, if desired. Slice and enjoy your Mile High Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie!
