How to Make German Chocolate Cheese Pie
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups crushed corn flakes, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- While the crust cools, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the cooled melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the filling has thickened considerably.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
