easy quick recipe for chocolate pie

Chocolate Velvet Pie

1 (8-inch) prepared chocolate crumb crust
1 (11.5-ounce) package Nestle Chocolate Morsels
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Sweetened whipped cream topping
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Melt the morsels according to package directions. Microwave morsels in a medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on medium-high power for 1 minute; stir. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Cool to room temperature. Beat melted chocolate, cream cheese and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until light in color. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Top with sweetened whipped cream.

In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream slowly adding the powered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the sweet whipped cream on top of pie and refrigerate until ready to serve.
