Chocolate Covered Cream Pie


A Chocolate Covered Cream Pie is a rich and indulgent dessert that combines a creamy filling with a luscious chocolate coating. Here’s a recipe to create this delightful treat:


Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
    • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Cream Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Assemble the Pie:

    • Spread the cream filling evenly into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
  4. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:

    • Place the finely chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
    • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
    • Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for about 5 minutes to melt the chocolate.
    • Add the butter and stir the mixture until smooth and glossy.
  5. Cover the Pie with Chocolate:

    • Allow the ganache to cool slightly until it thickens to a pourable consistency.
    • Pour the ganache over the cream filling, spreading it out to the edges to cover the top completely.
    • Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour, or until the ganache is set.
  6. Serve:

    • Once the ganache is fully set, slice and serve the pie chilled.
    • Enjoy your Chocolate Covered Cream Pie!

This pie combines the creamy, tangy filling with a rich chocolate topping, creating a decadent dessert that's perfect for any special occasion. Enjoy!
