Directions
Best Chocolate Cream Pie, This filling just on it’s own is good enough to serve for a pudding or mousse, this is a beautiful pie that makes a wonderful after dinner dessert to serve to your guests. It can also be made using a graham cracker crust, if you are a serious chocolate lover, then you will love this pie. Plan ahead this pie needs to chill for 6 hours or more before serving. Please do not cut into it before the 6 hours, as it will not be set enough. Make certain to finely chop the chocolate well so it will incorporate into the hot cream, you can do this, and bake the crust well in advance., I feel like this is going to sound really lazy but can I just use cool whip instead of making my own whipped cream? Im going to make this with my grandmother and I dont want to make her buy extra stuff.
