Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust (9-inch)

Filling

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup M&M candies (plus extra for garnish)

Topping (optional)

  • Whipped cream for topping


Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky texture.
  2. Add melted chocolate: Slowly pour in the melted and slightly cooled semi-sweet chocolate chips, mixing continuously until fully combined into a uniform chocolate cream mixture.
  3. Incorporate whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the chocolate mixture until the filling becomes light and fluffy, adding volume while maintaining creaminess.
  4. Add M&M candies: Carefully stir in 1 cup of M&M candies, spreading them evenly throughout the filling to add a colorful crunch.
  5. Fill the crust: Spoon the chocolate and M&M mixture into the prepared chocolate cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
  6. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and set, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to solidify.
  7. Garnish and serve: Before serving, decorate the pie with additional M&M candies and dollops of whipped cream as desired for extra color and texture.

Notes

  • For a festive touch, use seasonal or holiday-themed M&Ms.
  • You can substitute the chocolate cookie crust with a graham cracker crust for a different flavor.
  • To make slicing easier and cleaner, freeze the pie for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
