How to make Chocolate Strawberry Cream Pie:

For this pie, we’re making a chocolate cookie pie crust. All it takes is chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter to make this cookie pie crust. I have a photo tutorial for the cookie crust here if you need it.
- Chocolate Pie Layer

Tip – Heat milk in the microwave until hot before adding it to the mixture! This will speed up the process. - Add Chocolate Layer to Pie Crust
Pour the chocolate mixture into the pie crust.
Lay plastic wrap over filling, pressing it down and letting it touch the top of pie. This will prevent a film from forming as it cools.
Chill for at least 6 hours. Remove Plastic film.
