Make this decadent chocolate pie using a simple graham cracker crust and a creamy, rich filling. This is the best homemade chocolate pie for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over the chips and let stand for 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  4. Combine cream cheese and chocolate: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the cooled melted chocolate mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the chocolate-cream cheese mixture in three additions until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill and chill: Pour the easy chocolate pie filling into the prepared, chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill the chocolate pie for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  8. Serve cold. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra rich dark chocolate pie flavor, substitute 4 ounces of the semi-sweet chips with unsweetened baking chocolate.
  • If you prefer an Oreo crust, substitute 1 3/4 cups of finely crushed Oreo cookies for the graham cracker crumbs.
  • This creamy chocolate pie without baking sets best when chilled completely; plan ahead for make ahead chocolate desserts.
