1/4 cup
unsalted butter, melted
-
2 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 cup
whipping cream
-
8 ounces
cream cheese, softened
-
2/3 cup

Directions
-
Preheat over to 350F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
-
To prepare crust, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and cocoa powder in a small bowl, and mix until a moist yet crumbly mixture forms. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
-
To prepare filling, in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream until it holds firm peaks. Remove cream from bowl and keep cold in fridge. In the same bowl, use a paddle attachment, beat cream cheese until it’s soft and creamy. Add sugar, vanilla and melted chocolate, continue beating until combined. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten the mixture, then add the remaining cream and continue folding until incorporated.
-
Pour the cream mixture in the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Arrange strawberries on top of the pie. Refrigerate the pie until set, about 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
-
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the pie before serving.
