  This easy chocolate cream pie is smooth, rich, and decadent, for the perfect old-fashioned chocolate cream pie recipe everyone will love. Advertisement I consider myself more of a cook than a baker. Sometimes desserts intimidate me, so if I’m making one, go easy on me, please. This chocolate cream pie recipe is my idea of a classic, easy dessert that’s perfect for non-bakers like myself. This chocolate cream pie can be made with a store-bought frozen crust (pre-cooked and cooled), or you can go the homemade route (pro-tip: I always keep pie dough in my freezer in case the mood strikes) and my no-fail, go-to all-butter pie crust is perfect for this recipe. I recommend using high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder (Dutch) in this recipe, for the best chocolate flavor. The chocolate pudding filling comes together in no time on the stove (you have to allow at least two hours for it to chill and set before eating, but I can assure you it’s worth the wait!).

I then finish it off with a big squeeze of fresh lemon juice that cuts through the richness of the egg and ricotta. The result? Luscious layers of greatness.
