4ouncessemi-sweet baking chocolateplus more for garnish
1teaspoonvanilla extract
16ouncesCool Whipor about 6 cups freshly whipped cream, see note
Instructions
Blind Bake your pie crust according to my tips. (SEE NOTE)
Place baking chocolate in a small bowl and microwave according to package directions until melted and smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth, then mix in melted chocolate until smooth. Add vanilla and mix until combined, then stir in half of the Cool Whip (8 ounces).
Place mixture in pie. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving. Before serving, top with the rest of the whipped topping or whipped cream and chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
I prefer to make the pie with cool whip (add 8 ounces as instructed in step 2). However, I like topping my pie with fresh whipped cream. Use my perfect whipped cream recipe and 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip do make the pie this way.
