‘Tis the season for pie. Lots and lots of pie!
The other night, I had a chocolate craving that hit me like no other. I wanted something decadent and chocolatey and I wanted it quickly. Enter the 5 minute chocolate cheesecake icebox pie.
This no-bake pie recipe literally takes all of 5 minutes and only 5 ingredients to put together, making it the perfect go-to recipe to satisfy a chocolate craving. You won’t believe how easy it is to make a 5 minute chocolate cheesecake icebox pie.
This recipe is quick, simple, and delicious. It utilizes a pre-made Oreo pie crust, chocolate instant pudding mix, and cream cheese to make a decadent dessert everyone will love.
Neufchatel Cheese or Cream Cheese?
In this recipe, it does not matter if you use Neufchatel Cheese or Cream cheese in this recipe. Use whichever you prefer.
I often use Neufchatel Cheese in recipes that call for cream cheese because it has a little bit less fat. But other than that it tastes the exact same to me.
Can I use Homemade Whipped Cream?
Absolutely! You don’t have to use the whipped topping in this recipe. You can make your own whipped cream by whipping Heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Just don’t forget to sweeten your homemade whipped cream with a little bit of powdered sugar because whipped topping like Cool-whip is slightly sweet.
Can I make my own crust?
Yes absolutely. To make your own Oreo crust first crush up some Oreos into small cookie crumbs and mix with a little bit of melted butter. Press into a pie pan before adding the chocolate cheesecake filling.
Of course, making your own Oreo pie crust will add a bit more prep time to your 5 minute chocolate cheesecake but homemade is always better so I say go for it if you have the time!

A little slice of deliciousness! I have made this for a couple of family events and has now officially become my new “go to” dessert for events because it goes together quickly and easily and can be prepared a day ahead of time and also because I get a lot of requests for it.

Very quick and easy to make. I saved back just a bit of the whip topping to put on top and shaved a chocolate bar onto it.

Once made can I freeze this? I’ll be traveling for two hrs in the car and I’m scared it will be to warm once I get to the dinner.
I do not know how well this pie would freeze, so I can not say if this would work or not.
If I was in your situation, I would place the pie inside a pie storage container to keep it from getting messed up while traveling. To keep it cool I would place the pie storage container inside an insulated pie carrier with a couple of ice packs.
Can I use regular premade chocolate pie crust instead of Oreo crust?
I’m sure you could. You can use any kind of premade pie crust you prefer.
How much sugar to add pls? I think I’m missing something – can’t wait to try it tomorrow for hubbys bday
You do not add any additional sugar to this recipe. All of the sweetness for this dessert comes from the pudding and Oreo crust.

Whipped cream comes in at least 2 different sized tubs. How many ounces should the tub contain?
The smaller container, I think its around 8 ounces.
Can I use the tub ready made cream cheese with just a chocolate pudding box.
I want a chocolate filling.
The filling would be extremely rich if you only put those two ingredients together. I think you would need some milk and whipped topping to lighten up the chocolate pudding mixture. The milk and whipped topping also helps with the consistency of the dessert, without them the pudding mixture would be too stiff.
