Chocolate Velvet Pie Recipe
Velvet is very popular chocolate filling for pies, tarts, and pastries. The filling is smooth, rich, and creamy. It’s easy to make and tastes great. The sweet flavor, the creamy texture, and the deep, dark chocolate all add up to the ultimate pie.
Ingredients
- 1 8 inch Prepared chocolate crumb crust
- 1 ¾ cups Chocolate Morsels

- Bring to room temperature.
- Melt chocolate, cream cheese, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add whipped cream and fold in.
