Chocolate Cream Pie

A Chocolate & Kahlua Masterpiece

Nothing hits quite as hard as a perfectly made chocolate cream pie.

Ideally the filling is thick and luscious, lump-free, and presents as silk on the palate as you eat.

Lightly whipped cream further enriches the pie while adding a contrast to the deep chocolate filling.

A lot of chocolate cream pies feature crumb crusts these days… oreo crust, graham cracker crust… but for me, I’m a traditionalist and a legit blind-baked pie shell is the ultimate base for my favorite chocolate cream pie.

Since coffee and chocolate play so well together, it makes sense to add a dash of kahlua into the whipped cream topping which takes this chocolate cream pie into the “next level” category.

This recipe has been a childhood favorite and momma Octopod would make for dad when he had a craving for chocolate cream pie.

A recipe that has stood the test of time with no changes. 🙌

You can make this a day before, or the morning of to have ready for dinner.

Either way, with Summer heat on the way this chilled chocolate cream pie will absolute slay your friends and family into a food-coma that’s worth every bite.
