How to Make Orange Chocolate Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs and 4 tablespoons melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  3. Make the filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup milk. Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
  4. Beat in 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) and 2 tablespoons orange zest until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream (or 8 ounces Cool Whip) until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
