How to Make Chocolate Cheese Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually blend in ¾ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream.
  7. Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges will appear slightly firm.
  9. Let the pie cool completely to room temperature on a wire rack.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set completely.
  11. Garnish with your favorite cherry pie filling (optional).
