Chocolate Dream Pie

Deb's Recipes's Note:

Very elegant and luscious, this is my long-time favorite pie! It's wonderful made with Hershey's Special Dark Chips, but any chocolate chips will do just fine. Plan on making the pie early in the day (or the night before) so that it has enough time to chill. Enjoy!

Really delicious pie! Loved the flavor of chocolate w/ the little bit of cream cheese. We had a piece a few hours after making it, it was good but even better the next day. Thanks for posting!

This pie is fantastic and super easy to make. I used extra creamy whipped topping because thats what I had and it was really rich. Excellent recipe, thank you!!

I kept joking with my husband that this was going to be better than his mom's chocolate pie. I was right, and he agreed! Definitely will be making this one again. It was really pretty quick and easy to whip together, too. I used Hershey's special dark chocolate chips, which made it rich and delicious. Thanks so much for sharing!
