Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package cookie crisp cereal
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing the surface.
- In a food processor, pulse the Cookie Crisp cereal until finely ground into crumb-like consistency.
- Mix the ground cereal with melted butter until the mixture resembles a wet sand texture.
- Press the cereal and butter mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish, creating an even crust.
- Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to allow it to set and firm up.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and fluffy.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the chilled cereal crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the pie in a decorative pattern.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Slice and serve chilled, garnishing with additional Cookie Crisp cereal or chocolate syrup if desired.
Tips
- For the crispiest crust, make sure to pulse the Cookie Crisp cereal into fine crumbs and press firmly into the pie dish.
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps when mixing.
- When folding whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, use gentle, sweeping motions to maintain the light, airy texture.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality chocolate syrup or make your own ganache.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better for perfect set and flavor melding.
- For a professional presentation, use a piping bag to create decorative chocolate syrup patterns.
- Keep the pie refrigerated until just before serving to maintain its perfect texture and coolness.
