GERMAN SWEET CHOCOLATE PIE — Chocolate, sweetened cream cheese and whip cream combine in this incredibly easy, decadent cream pie that can be made ahead and kept in the freezer. So easy and so convenient!

My family is very opinionated when it comes to pie, but this German Sweet Chocolate Pie is one we all agree on. It really is one of my all-time favorites!

This pie isn’t overly sweet or rich, which unfortunately means I can easily eat more than one piece. It reminds me of a creamy chocolate mousse, which is probably why I love it so much.

I used to make this for my grandfather, and we would eat it together! Making this brought back happy memories! Thank you for this! ~ Jennifer

I usually make it for the holidays, but it would also be a great summertime pie. I like to use a chocolate crumb crust, but a regular graham cracker crust, or even a baked pastry-style crust will work.

Sometimes I make my chocolate crumb crust from scratch, and sometimes I buy one that’s premade. Either way, my family devours this pie, and everyone who tries it give it rave reviews.

I’ve also made individual servings of this pie in mini Mason jars. I’m not sure why it is, but people always seem impressed when you serve them their own little dessert.

I love that this pie goes in the freezer to set, so I can make it weeks ahead of time and I have one less thing to prepare for my holiday meal.

I’ve been making this pie for years!! Maybe even decades? It’s delicious and so easy to make. ~ Katy

In fact, I usually make two and keep one in the freezer for another day. Leftover pie should be stored in the refrigerator. Since it does go in the freezer, I make this pie in a regular aluminum pie tin, rather than in glass or ceramic.

This German Sweet Chocolate Pie really is a must make. Once you try it, I’m sure it will become one of your favorites too!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT GERMAN SWEET CHOCOLATE PIE

This delicious pie is one that my family has been making for quite some time but I switch it up a bit by using the OREO chocolate crusts for more chocolatey goodness! ~ Beth

I love this recipe for the filling. I have used this to fill cannoli, cream puffs, to frost layer cakes, used as chocolate mousse, and have served frozen as pie with a thin layer of seedless raspberry jam at the bottom, topped with whipped cream. Delicious whatever it’s used for ~ Sandy

This pie is so easy to make, my family loves it. I make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It takes all of ten minutes but it looks like you worked all day on it. Thanks for such a neat recipe. ~ Barbara
