Frozen German Sweet Chocolate Pie


Yummy, easy and oh so delicious!  My family loves it when I make this pie!  Original recipe from Baker's German Sweet Chocolate!


Ingredients
1 pkg. (4 oz.) German Sweet Chocolate
1/3 cup milk, divided
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 cups fresh cream, whipped
1 Graham Pie Crust (6 oz.)

Method
Microwave chocolate and 2 Tbsp. of the milk in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 minutes, or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after each minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.

Add cream cheese, sugar and remaining milk; beat with wire whisk until well blended. Refrigerate 10 min. to cool.

Add whipped cream; stir gently until well blended. Spoon into crust.

Freeze 4 hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature or in refrigerator about 15 min. or until pie can be cut easily. Store leftover pie in freezer.
