I warned my husband, earlier he tried this pie, that it’s super chocolatey as well as since he’s non a existent chocolate lover (like me) he may non similar it. Ha. Not certain why I bothered to country anything because he adored it, likely equally much equally I do. The chocolate cream pie filling is adapted from a super sometime recipe my mom used to build then it’s been a favorite of mine since I was a immature girl.

 

The filling is sugariness as well as rich then live certain to cutting pocket-sized slices.

The crust is made amongst chocolate wafer cookies that are non real sweet, as well as the whipped cream is solely lightly sweetened then this helps preclude a carbohydrate overload. I’m non trying to moving ridge you lot off from trying this chocolate cream pie, simply giving you lot a heads upward earlier you lot do. The filling is then creamy, mutual depression temperature as well as silky smooth; the perfect consistency! It really melts inward your oral fissure as well as is practically addictive.

This Double Chocolate Cream Pie is the perfect ending to a low-cal repast as well as is actually terrific served amongst a fresh, hot loving cup of coffee.

 

Our recipe calls for expert quality, unsweetened chocolate then delight don’t substitute amongst chocolate chips.

Chocolate chips don’t melt the same equally block chocolate baking bars as well as convey a much softer texture overall. I don’t mean value the filling volition laid upward correctly if you lot utilization chocolate chips as well as may live much equally good sugariness to eat. I use Scharffen Berger 100% Unsweetened Dark Chocolate Baking Bar for this recipe. My local grocery store carries this build but whatsoever expert character unsweetened chocolate baking bar volition do.
