Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie

In my quest for fun Easter dessert recipes, I decided to try this recipe, with a few minor changes. I got the original recipe from this website. It was delicious! Here's my version (and the end result)!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie


1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
1 (8oz) package of low fat cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 graham cracker crust

Melt about 1/2 of the bag of of the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 15 seconds, being careful not to burn. Continue to microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring well after each heat. Set aside.

Beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, & 1/2 cup of the confectioners sugar with an electric mixer in a bowl until it becomes thick.

In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, the other half cup of confectioners sugar, & the cup of melted chocolate.Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Spread the cream into the chocolate pie crust. Then, press the sliced berries into the mixture ALL over it. Find every single available nook & cranny, and shove a berry in it!

Melt the remaining chocolate in a bowl.  I poured it into a ziploc bag, cut a tiny edge of the corner of the bag, and drizzled the chocolate over the strawberries.

Refrigerate until set.
