Ingredients

Creamy Base: 8 oz. cream cheese (room temperature), 1/4 cup salted butter (room temperature), 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Chocolate: 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flavorings: 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Cream the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the room-temperature cream cheese, butter, and sugar. Blend well with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
Melt the Chocolate: Place both types of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring with a rubber spatula after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Combine: Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture. Add the vanilla and salt. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything is thoroughly incorporated.
Fold in Topping: Add 8 oz. of the whipped topping to the chocolate mixture and mix until light and creamy.
Assemble: Pour the filling into your Oreo Pie Crust (Master Cookbook Recipe # 437). Spread the remaining 8 oz. of whipped topping over the top.
Garnish & Chill: Garnish with cookie crumbs or chocolate shavings if desired. Refrigerate until set and ready to serve.

Notes

Tammy's Tips

For a perfectly smooth filling, make sure your cream cheese and butter are truly at room temperature before you start mixing. If you want an extra touch of elegance, use a vegetable peeler on a chocolate bar to create beautiful chocolate shavings for the top!
