Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie
A delightful dessert featuring a rich chocolate and cream cheese filling topped with fresh strawberries, all nestled in a crunchy cookie crust.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
For the filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for smoother mixing.
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream For a firmer filling, you can use a little less whipped cream.
- 1 cup chocolate sauce
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced Feel free to add other fruits, like bananas or raspberries, for different flavors.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
Filling
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the whipped cream until combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pie crust.
- Layer the sliced strawberries evenly on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
Serve the pie chilled, sliced into wedges. You can add extra chocolate sauce or whipped cream on top for decoration. Fresh mint leaves can also add a nice touch to the presentation. Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the strawberries and cream may change.
