Whipped Chocolate Cream Pie

May 5, 2014 By Phillip @ SouthernFATTY.com 4 Comments

Whipped Chocolate Cream Pie

 

Once people find out that you bake, they always want you to bring a sweet treat to their house, party, bar mitzvah, work meeting, pet’s vet appointment… anything really. This silky chocolate pie has become my go-to quick dessert. It can be made in 20 minutes, but tastes like something that took hours in the kitchen.

 

I almost always have boxes of JELL-O pudding in the cabinet and Cool Whip in the freezer. It’s seriously that simple. A pecan cookie crust, sweetened cream cheese layer followed by the nostalgic chocolate pudding topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Congratulations– You are now the first person on everyone’s invite list.

 

Pecan Cookie Crust

 

There are a few ways to go with regard to the crust for this pie. I started off making a simple sweet crust with pecans, flour, butter and sugar. While that is was my favorite way to go before, I have found a faster and equally delicious option. Cookie crust! You can make a pie crust out of just about any cookies that you want. Some work better than others, and it just takes some trial and error to figure out what works best for your dessert.

 

I tried a pecan shortbread cookie base for this and couldn’t have been happier with the result. Sweet, just the perfect amount of form and crunch and the best part- it took 30 seconds to mix together. No cutting butter, etc.

 

Pie with Cream Cheese and Chocolate Layers

 

I threw about 14-15 cookies (Pecan Sandies were the weapon of choice) in my food processor until fairly fine, mixed in 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of flour. Pressed it into my pretty green pie pan and baked it at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Be sure and let it cool completely so it firms up before you fill it.

 

When cooled, just spoon in the cream cheese layer followed by the pudding mixture. Top it with the remaining whipped cream and you are done! I usually put some chopped pecans on top, but opted for chocolate shavings this time.

 

Whipped Chocolate Cream Pie

 

Pop this baby in the refrigerator, as it is better served when completely cool. If you are really pressed for time, use a pre-made pie crust. Even being one of those alien non-chocolate types, I love this pie. Enjoy!
