How to Make Chocolate Ice Box Pie

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
Gradually add the melted chocolate, beating until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined. It will be lumpy at this stage – that's okay!
Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to slightly soften.
