Chocolate Cream Pie

This pie is so easy, it scarcely qualifies as a recipe. But it is delicious and pleasing to both kids and adults, making it the perfect dessert. I am kicking myself for not taking a picture of a slice for you to see, but there was no time, it was consumed so quickly!

This is another recipe from my lovely mother-in-law, Kelly.

Chocolate Cream Pie

printable recipe 

serves 8

1 oreo pie crust (you can make your own if you like, I'm a slacker)

8 oz whipping cream

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

8 oz cream cheese

1 small box instant chocolate pudding

2 cups milk

Pour whipping cream, sugar and vanilla into a large bowl.

With your mixer (or by hand) whisk the ingredients together until soft peaks form. You want it to be about the consistency of cool whip. I suppose you could use a container of cool whip instead, but this way is yummier.

Add cream cheese to the whipped cream.

Fold cream cheese and whipped cream together until evenly mixed.

In a separate bowl, beat pudding mix and milk together for 2 minutes.

Spoon whipped cream mixture into pie crust, almost to the top. Be sure to leave room for the pudding, you might have a little extra whipped cream, but I'm sure you'll find a use for it.

Pour pudding on top and put in fridge to chill. Serve cold with a dollop of whipped cream on top, if desired.
