Chocolate-Cream Pie

A very delicious light cream pie recipe....if you like chocolaty dark chocolate.  My husband & I are chocolate lovers but felt this was way too rich in chocolate for us, so I made another pie & cut the cocoa back half & used milk choc chips to make it more of a milk chocolate cream pie.....it was excellent so I still gave the recipe a 5 star!  And don't ruin this recipe by using a store bought crust, ylch...take the time to make your own graham cracker crust from scratch :)

Great light cream pie recipe. I made mine with an Oreo cookie crust and substituted aerosol canned whipped cream for the Cool Whip. Definitely a keeper.

Great recipe! Made 2 pies at once. Made the two graham cracker crusts individually, but doubled the filling recipe. A heavy 3qt saucepan is the minimum size for a double batch, 31/2 or 4 qt even better. I used a Ghiradelli 60% cocoa dark chocolate bar in place of the semi sweet chocolate called for. Delicious!

Very rich and tasty! With fat free cool whip only 3 WW PP Pts for 1/9.

I have made this for years. I use a local dairy's enhanced skim milk that cooks like 2%. I have also at times added cinnamon, and or espresso powder. My family most of the time does not even let it get to the pie crust, so we eat it as pudding.

This is, hands down, my family's favorite pie. Love, love, loooooove. I know other people like to mix it up. You're welcome to try, but why mess with perfection?

Great pie. Homemade crust was worth it and pretty simple. I made homemade whipped topping instead of the frozen topping. I know that added a few calories, but it was great!

I just didn't know how in the world a "light" version of this classicly delicious dessert could do it justice. Ummm...YUM!!! This is delicious!!! My not-so-health-concious husband wanted to devour the whole pie. It is very rich, yet light...just like the description says. TRY THIS RECIPE. It will not disappoint!

Fantastic! It was even easier using pre-made oreo pie crust - added an extra chocolate element. Very easy and delicious - great for entertaining as it can be made the night before.

For an extra chocolate punch, I made the crust with chocolate grahams and used 85% chopped dark chocolate. It was fabulous!

OK so its Thanksgiving tomorrow and here I am looking once again for our favorite pie recipe. This is it, its my son's most favorite (he's 19 now) and everyone else asks for it too. We love this pie and will probably keep making it at least 2 times a year. Thank you Cooking Light we are thankful for you!
