Recipe: No-Bake Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie

This recipe for No-Bake Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie is an adaptation of my regular No-Bake Cream Cheese Pie… both are really quick and easy to make and always a hit where ever I take them.

My No-Bake Cream Cheese pies differ from just about every other one you’ll find on the web… mine have sour cream in it.. I love the tang of the sour cream with the sweetness of the cream cheese.. a perfect combo.

The original plain recipe was one I got many years ago .. I think from the Ready Crust package… and seems to have all but disappeared… I have it since I’ve made these pies every summer since I first found the recipe.

TIPS

I wanted a really quick and easy chocolate addition to the pie… most recipes go through the trouble of melting chocolate … something I didn’t want to have to do… I decided to try using instant chocolate pudding… which worked very well…

You will need to add some milk or heavy cream.. I used heavy cream.. I like the velvety smoothness it gives… but you could use milk instead…

When adding the whipped topping (Cool Whip), the batter will be very thick and difficult to mix.. just keep mixing it in by hand.. it will eventually mix fine.

We really liked this… I hope you try it!
