Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes (plus freezing time)
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Cool Whip (whipped topping)
- 1 cup crushed pecans
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 pre-made pie crust (graham cracker or your choice)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Begin by placing the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. This step ensures that the pie filling will have a delightful, silky texture.
-
Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the bowl with the cream cheese. Continue to beat the mixture until it is completely blended and smooth. The condensed milk will add a rich, sweet flavor to the pie filling.
-
Add Cocoa Powder: Sift or stir in the cocoa powder, ensuring it is well incorporated into the mixture. This step adds the essential chocolate flavor to your pie.
-
Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese and milk mixture. This will lighten the filling, giving it a fluffy texture that complements the chocolate flavor perfectly.
-
Assemble the Pie: Spoon the creamy chocolate filling into the pre-made pie crust. Smooth it out with a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure an even layer.
-
Add the Toppings: Drizzle the chocolate syrup evenly over the top of the pie. Then, sprinkle the crushed pecans across the surface for added texture and a nutty crunch.
-
Freeze: Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Allow the pie to freeze overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, to ensure it sets properly and slices cleanly.
-
Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the pie from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing to make serving easier. Enjoy your decadent, homemade chocolate sundae pie!
