Ingredients
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup hot chocolate mix (about three 1.38 oz packets)
3 tablespoons whole milk
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping
1 pre‑baked chocolate Oreo or graham cracker crust
Optional: chocolate syrup and mini marshmallows
Instructions
-
Mix the filling
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, hot chocolate mix, and milk. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. -
Fold in whipped topping
Gently fold in the whipped topping using a rubber spatula. Mix until well combined, ensuring there are no streaks or dry patches of powder left. -
Fill the crust and freeze
Spoon the filling into the pre-baked crust and spread it evenly. Cover the pie with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. -
Serve and garnish
When you’re ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top and sprinkle mini marshmallows. Use a knife warmed under hot water for clean slices, wiping between cuts.
Notes
Bring cream cheese to room temperature for the smoothest texture. Let the pie sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing if you prefer a softer bite. For serving guests, garnish each slice with extra marshmallows and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
