How to Make Celebration Cheese Pie

  1. **Make the Cookie Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups crushed cookies (see ingredient list for suggestions) and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter. Mix with a fork until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie plate.
  2. **Freeze the Crust:** Place the pie plate in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to chill the crust.
  3. **Prepare Layer 1:** In a separate bowl, beat together all ingredients listed for Layer 1 (see ingredient list) until smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  4. **Freeze Layer 1:** Return the pie to the freezer for 5 minutes to set the first layer.
  5. **Prepare Layer 2:** In a clean bowl, beat together all ingredients listed for Layer 2 (excluding the chocolate) until well combined.
  6. **Add Chocolate to Layer 2:** Gently stir in the chopped chocolate to Layer 2 until evenly distributed.
  7. **Assemble the Pie:** Carefully spread the Layer 2 mixture over the frozen Layer 1.
  8. **Top and Chill:** Top with whipped cream (approximately 1 cup) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
  9. **Serve and Enjoy:** Slice and serve your award-winning Celebration Cheese Pie!
