Tips for making Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie

– For best results, use Philadelphia cream cheese—it’s a favorite for cheesecakes! Make sure to bring the eggs and the cream cheese to room temperature as it will blend easier.

– This Chocolate Cheese Pie must be baked as it contains a cake base. For a no-bake version, use a crust made of Oreo biscuits and melted butter. Simply mix together 26 crushed Oreo cookies with 6 tablespoons of butter. Press into the cake tin and refrigerate for 1 hour. To make the filling, beat together 2 boxes of instant chocolate pudding, 12oz can of evaporated milk, 12oz cream cheese, and 8oz cool whip. Pour into the base and refrigerate until set.

– To prevent clumping, sift together the dry ingredients first before mixing it with the wet ingredients.

– There are many ways to dress up your Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie. Try any one of the following toppings: freshly whipped cream, chocolate curls, chocolate cookie crumbs, or caramel sauce.

– To create small Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie bars, use a square baking tin and press the base into the tin. Pour in the filling and refrigerate. Once set, cut into small squares and serve.

– It’s important to allow the cheesecake to cool slowly to prevent cracking… patience is key!
