GERMAN SWEET CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Freeze/Chill     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package (4 ounces) Baker's® German's® Sweet Chocolate
⅓ cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
8 ounces Cool Whip® Non-Dairy Whipped Topping, thawed
8-inch graham cracker crumb crust

Steps:

  • Heat chocolate and 2 tablespoons of the milk in saucepan over low heat, stirring until chocolate is melted. Beat sugar into cream cheese, adding remaining milk and chocolate mixture; beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping, blending until smooth. Spoon into crust. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired. Store any leftover pie in freezer.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good chocolate will have a smooth, rich taste and will be free of any bitterness.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before using it. This will help it to blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will be stiff and grainy, and it will not hold its shape well.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

This German chocolate cream pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The chocolate filling is rich and smooth, and the coconut-pecan topping adds a nice crunch and sweetness. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
