Ingredients

  • 1 peanut butter cookie pie crust (or your favorite pie crust)
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
  • 12 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip), divided

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, gently melt the 4 ounces of chopped unsweetened chocolate over simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate with the 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Mix well until fully incorporated. This rich mixture will form the base of your filling.
  • Take 8 ounces of the Cool Whip and gently fold it into the chocolate and condensed milk mixture. Use a spatula to ensure you maintain the light and airy texture. Be careful not to overmix!
  • Pour the chocolate filling into your prepared peanut butter cookie pie crust, spreading it evenly with the spatula. The crust will add a delightful nutty flavor that complements the chocolate perfectly.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set. This chilling step is crucial for achieving that perfect slice.
  • Once the pie is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and top it with the remaining 4 ounces of Cool Whip. You can get creative with this step by adding swirls or peaks for an impressive presentation.
  • Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled. You can garnish with chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts for an extra touch. Enjoy your Easy Chocolate Cool Whip Pie!
