The Best Chocolate Pie Ever

I have probably made this chocolate pie approximately five trillion times since I first made up the recipe. And if you say you aren't a big fan of chocolate pie, as I once said in my ignorance, that may only be because you are used to Jello pudding mix chocolate pies. This chocolate pie is not even in the same category.

Like a pudding mix pie, it is whipped up in minutes in the microwave. Unlike a pudding mix pie, it actually tastes like it's made of real chocolate. Plus is rich and creamy and has an Oreo crust which is covered in melted chocolate (I'm a fan of chocolate covered crusts in case you haven't noticed). Plus, it can even be made gluten free!

How do you make a chocolate cream pie?

To make a chocolate cream pie, first start with your crust of choice. I use an Oreo crust, but this recipe would also work great with a homemade pie crust. 

 

Then make a chocolate pudding filling. I make my pudding in a large microwave safe bowl in the microwave, stirring occasionally until thickened, but you can also do this in a pot on the stove top if you prefer.

You will need to let this chill for several hours to set. Then top with whipped cream and mini chocoalte chips or chocolate shavings.

What is in the filling for chocolate cream pie?

The filling of chocolate pie consists of 

 

• Eggs
• Corn starch
• Sugar
• Milk
• Butter
• Vanilla
• Chocolate chips

 

I use chocolate chips, but chopped chocolate is also great. It's also up to you if you prefer dark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate.

And by the way, do you like my chocolate curls? I'll have to give you a tutorial on how to make them sometime. They're actually really easy to do and look pretty impressive, if I do say so myself. (Update: to this date, I have never made chocolate curls this perfectly again and I never did make a tutorial).
