This homemade old fashioned chocolate pie recipe brings a classic dessert to your table with a rich, creamy, and chocolatey twist.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ Cup finely chopped walnuts
- 3 Tablespoons butter melted

- ⅓ Cup milk divided
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 oz cool whip thawed
Instructions
- Mix the finely chopped walnuts and butter in a 9-inch pie plate. Press it into the sides and bottom of the pie plate. Refrigerate.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate, and 2 Tablespoons of milk for 1 minute on high. Remove from the microwave and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Into the melted chocolate, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and remaining milk on high with a hand mixer until smooth. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to cool.
- Fold the cool whip into the chilled chocolate mixture. Spoon onto the crust.
- Freeze for four hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until the pie can easily be cut. Store leftover pie in the freezer.
Notes
Expert Tip: To make the best old fashioned chocolate pie, stick to a regular pie plate. Using a deep dish pie plate may result in a crust that's not high enough on the sides, which could compromise the final look and feel of your pie.
Refrigerate: I don’t recommend storing this pie in the fridge as it will affect the consistency. Instead, store any leftovers in the freezer.
Freezer: Leftovers can be stored in the freezer for up to three months, making this the perfect make-ahead dessert! Cover in plastic wrap before storing. And then simply allow it to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
