Chocolate Dream Pie
"Very elegant and luscious, this is my long-time favorite pie! It's wonderful made with Hershey's Special Dark Chips, but any chocolate chips will do just fine. Plan on making the pie early in the day (or the night before) so that it has enough time to chill. Enjoy!"

I kept joking with my husband that this was going to be better than his mom's chocolate pie. I was right, and he agreed! Definitely will be making this one again. It was really pretty quick and easy to whip together, too. I used Hershey's special dark chocolate chips, which made it rich and delicious. Thanks so much for sharing! -
I found this recipe in my Pillsbury Best of the Bake-Off cookbook and just had to try it! I should have known someone else had already posted it because it is soooo incredibly good! I did use low-fat milk, light cool-whip and reduced fat cream cheese (it's what I had on hand) and it was still decandant. Everyone loved it. The only suggestion I have is to refrigerate for a couple of hours before adding the reserved cup of whipped topping so that it is easier to spread on without accidently getting some of the chocolate mixture mixed in. -
This is a chocoholic's dream lol! I used half and half cream in place of milk. The filling for this pie really holds together well and is quite firm, thanks Deb!...Kitten:) -
I took this to a picnic where it got rave reviews. The store-bought chocolate crumb crust I used was a bit too small for the amount of filling, which was no problem since my daughters gladly helped me eat what didn't fit. The prep was quick and easy, but I must admit that the until the chips began to melt I had serious doubts about the instructions. What looked like a mess finally melted and thickened into a rich chocolate pudding. I have seen the same recipe with 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream whipped (which yields about 3 cups of whipped cream) in place of the cool whip. I'm going to try that next time. Excellent pie! -
