Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed)
  • 1 chocolate OR graham cracker pie crust (9 inch, store-bought or homemade)
  • For garnish: additional Cool Whip or whipped cream, mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, beat 4 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth and well blended.
  • Place ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder in a mesh strainer and sift into the cream cheese mixture. Pour ⅓ cup milk over the top, and beat until combined.
  • Gently fold in 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed) until well combined with no streaks.
  • Spoon the filling into 1 chocolate OR graham cracker pie crust and smooth the top.
  • Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. You can also freeze the pie if you prefer a firmer, ice cream pie texture.
  • Garnish with additional whipped topping and mini chocolate chips before serving, if desired.

Notes

Real whipped cream swap: to use real whipped cream instead of Cool Whip, beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with ¼ cup sugar until stiff peaks form, then fold it in the same way.
Serving: the pie can be served refrigerated or frozen. It's light and fluffy when refrigerated or has an ice-cream-like texture when frozen. If frozen, let the pie stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
Make ahead: the pie can be made one day ahead of serving. Cover and chill until you're ready to serve it. 
Leftovers: cover the pie and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
