You can this creamy chocolate pie filling in vary ways of convenience or homemade. The quickest way is by using whipped topping and ready-made pie crust. It’ll be a little sweeter because the whipped topping is already sweet. Or you can go full homemade and make your own crust and homemade whipped cream. Both are fairly easy to do, but it just takes a little more time on your part. By making your own whipped cream for the filling, you can customize the sweetness level to your preference.

Once chocolate isn't too warm but is still creamy, fold in the whipped topping. If needed, whisk the mixture to make it smooth and combined.
Pour chocolate mixture into the pie crust. Chill for at least 2 hours to let the chocolate set before serving.
