A chocolate cookie crumb crust is loaded with a decadent cream cheese and dark chocolate filling. Serve with fresh fruit or whipped cream for a showstopping dessert everyone will rave about.
You guys! This Dark Chocolate Cream Pie is absolutely amazing! I mean it’s a pie. Made of chocolate. What’s not to love about that?
I confess, my 15 year-old son spotted the recipe and asked to make it for dessert. He really has an eye for delicious recipes, and once again, he picked a winner.
Not only does it taste amazing, it sets up and slices beautifully. And it’s so easy to make! But everyone will think you spent hours in the kitchen.
I recommend serving it with some fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream to cut the richness, although it’s perfectly delicious on it’s own.
And aside from the fact that you need to bake the crust for about 8 minutes, this is pretty much a no-bake dessert, so it’s perfect for summer holidays and special occasions.
Since I often get asked about the chocolate crumb crust–yes, I use the entire Oreo cookie. I just throw them in my food processor and pulse until I have fine crumbs.
No need to remove all the filling beforehand. Unless you really love Oreo filling and you’d rather eat it all yourself.
For my husband, who 100% prefers cream pies over baked pies, this decadent chocolate dessert is a favorite. Cut small slices though. Did I mention that it’s super rich?
Honestly, this pie almost too good to be true. This is the kind of pie I’d expect to be served in a fancy restaurant. Just make this one. You won’t regret it!
This Dark Chocolate Cream Pie is nothing but creamy chocolate goodness through and through. If you love chocolate, then this is definitely the pie for you!

Quesstion: there are only two of us – will this pie hold together for several days in the fridge? If not, would it work with a tub of CoolWhip instead of the whipped cream? I absolutely LOVE chocolate pie, so I’m excited to try!

It should be fine for a few days in the fridge. But I do find Cool Whip does hold up better for longer.

I just made this today. I’m a pretty advanced baker even though I don’t really eat sweets, but let me just say this is the best dessert I’ve ever made. I cheated and used a premade Oreo crust (just too hot to turn on the oven). OMGoodness, sooooooo good, smooth, rich, the cream cheese made it perfect. I ate a giant piece and loved it! Thank you!
