Method

ENDINGS

  1. 1

    Prepare crust

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies with the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened, then press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Bake for 8–9 minutes, then let cool completely.

  2. 2

    Make cream cheese layer

    In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare chocolate fudge filling

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, and the milk until smooth and glossy. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Assemble layers

    Spread the cream cheese layer over the cooled crust in an even layer. Gently spoon the warm fudge filling on top and spread to cover, creating a layered look.

  5. 5

    Chill to set

    Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is set and the layers are firm.

  6. 6

    Top and garnish

    Spread the whipped cream over the set pie. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice and serve chilled. For clean cuts, wipe the knife between slices.
