How to Make Chocolate Silk Pie 

You can this pie filling in two ways. 

• The quickest way is by using whipped topping. It’ll usually be a little sweeter because the whipped topping is often sweeter than homemade whipped cream. 
• Another way takes an extra step to make homemade whipped cream. The extra effort is worth it. The texture is just as creamy delicious as whipped topping but it’ll be less sweet. By making your own whipped cream for the filling, you can customize the sweetness level to balance out with the sweet chocolate chips.
