The Best Mini Chocolate Cream Pie Recipe

Fun little fact about me: chocolate is my love language. It’s the one flavor of dessert I’m always in the mood for, and honestly, the richer and more chocolatey, the better.

Whether it’s a classic fudge brownie, a flourless chocolate cake (that’s ridiculously dense and fudge-like), or double chocolate chip cookies, I will take the chocolate any time of day and in any form.

As we’re right in the heart of pie season (although as a the passionate pie lover I am, pie season isn’t seasonal—it’s a year long thing), it only seemed fitting to share these Mini Chocolate Cream Pies with an Oreo cookie crust.

This Chocolate Cream Pie recipe is made with cream cheese and melted chocolate, which gives this chocolate pie so much flavor and a very rich texture. The chocolate cream cheese filling is mixed with homemade whipped cream so this feels very much like a decadent chocolate mousse pie.

We have the chocolate cookie crust, the layer of rich chocolate pie filling, and—if you wanted—chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream. These rich and creamy mini Easy Chocolate Cream Pies are a chocolate lovers dream.

My Favorite Things About These Chocolate Cream Mini Pies:

No Bake: Honestly, there really isn’t anything better than a really good, really simple, no bake pie recipe. Especially during this time of the year when oven space is definitely at a premium. Plus, being that this is a no bake recipe, it means this is a chocolate pie without eggs—so if you have an allergy to eggs, this is the perfect chocolate pie.
Cream Cheese: Cream cheese makes everything extra rich, and it gives the pie a very creamy texture.
Oreo Crust: Using an Oreo cookie crust simplifies this chocolate pie recipe, as all you have to do is mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with butter to make the crust.

How To Make This Chocolate Cream Pie From Scratch

This is a basic overview how to make this no bake chocolate pie recipe. There is a detailed printable recipe card down below.

No Bake Pie Crust: In a food processor, blender, or in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin, crush the Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies until they are small crumbs. Mix the cookie crumbs with unsalted butter until combined. Press about 1-2 Tbsp of cookie crumbs into each muffin cup. Place the crust in the freezer while you make the filling.
- You can line the pan with muffin liner, which will make it easier to remove the pies from the muffin pan.
Whipped Cream: With an electric mixer or standing mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until it begins to form soft peaks. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whip until it reaches stiff peaks. Divide the whipped cream in half and put half in the fridge (this will be used to pipe on top of the chocolate pie later).
Chocolate Pie Filling: In a medium bowl with a hand mixer (or with a standing mixer), beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add in melted chocolate, espresso powder, salt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined. Fold in half of the whipped cream, gently mixing until everything is combined.
Assembly: Remove the crust from the freezer. Using a large piping bag, pipe the chocolate filling into each muffin cup, filling the cups about 3/4 of the way full. Place the pie into the fridge, and allow to chill at least 4 hours before serving. Place the remaining whipped cream in the fridge until ready to serve.
Serve: Remove the chocolate mini pies from the muffin tins using a butter knife or a plastic knife. If desired, pipe whipped cream on top of each pie (or you can spoon it on). Top with a raspberry, strawberry, or chocolate shavings, if desired.

Storage Tips:

Due to the fact this is a cream cheese chocolate pie with whipped cream, the pie must be stored in the fridge or freezer.

Make Ahead Tips:

Because this is a recipe for no bake chocolate pie, you can make these mini cream pies a couple of days in advance, if you’d like. They just need to be stored in the fridge.

Variations:

Another reason I love this mousse-like Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie is that you can change up the flavors pretty easily.

Chocolate: We use semi-sweet melted chocolate in this recipe, but you could use dark chocolate or milk chocolate too.
Crust: You could use mint Oreos, golden Oreos, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, chocolate graham crackers, or any kind of crust you’d like!
Toppings: I opted for a traditional fruit and chocolate pairing by adding raspberries on top of the pie. You could use strawberries, or you could dust with cocoa powder. You could also add chocolate shavings on top, or top with mini chocolate chips.

Final Tips & Tricks To Making Mini Chocolate Cream Pies:

Room Temperature Cream Cheese: It will make things so much easier for you if you let the cream cheese come to room temperature before beating it. If you try to mix it when it’s cold, it will be lumpy and you won’t have a nice smooth and creamy chocolate pie filling—it’ll have chunks of cream cheese.
Muffin Tin: You don’t need a special pan for these mini chocolate pies—just a classic muffin tin. Of course, if you have a mini cheesecake pan, you can use that as well. It is fairly easy to remove the pies with a butter knife or a plastic knife, but you can also line the muffin tin with paper muffin cups.
Whipped Cream: You make a double batch of whipped cream for this pie, because half goes in the filling and the other half is used on top of the pie.
