Chocolate Cream Pie

I wanted to make a pie for dessert, but didn't have exactly everything I needed to follow a recipe I have for banana cream pie. So, I swapped out some ingredients for others and came up with a fantastic chocolate cream pie. My husband even snuck a piece when I wasn't looking!

Chocolate Cream Pie

1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 14oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 5oz. (large) pkg. chocolate fudge pudding
2 c. milk
1 1/2 8oz. tubs Cool Whip
2 Oreo or chocolate crumb pie crusts
Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings for garnish (opt.)

1. Mix cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add pudding and 1 cup of milk. Slowly add the last cup of milk. Mix for about 2 minutes.

2. Fold in 4 oz. (about 1/2 of 1 container) of Cool Whip by hand. Spread about half of the pudding mixture into 1 pie crust; repeat with other crust. Top with remaining Cool Whip (about 4 oz. or 1/2 container on top of each pie).

3. Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes or until pudding is thickened. Before serving, garnish with more chocolate.
