In reply to Ann. Hi Ann! The flavor will be different and the pie will likely be sweeter, but it should work.

can I use milk chocolate instead of semi sweet chocolate?

This was amazing! I made this for Father’s Day and it was delicious! I will definitely make more pies from this website! It wasn’t overly complicated but it tasted wonderful! Thank you so much for this recipe!

In reply to Laurie Lehman. They are actually very similar. The chocolate icebox pie is a tad bit lighter. :)

What is the difference between this recipe and your no bake chocolate cheesecake? Thanks!

In reply to PJ Tomlian. I'm glad you ultimately enjoyed it! You could try my mudslide pie. It has no sour cream in it and is a similar type of pie. I have notes in there to make it non-alcoholic. :)

Made this pie recently and had a question. The recipe has a little “tang” to it – is that the sour cream? If I eliminated the sour cream, would it taste more chocolate like?

In reply to Janet. Hi Janet! A store-bought pre-made Oreo crust will be too small to hold all of the filling.

Can I use a storebought Oreo crust for this recipe? Thank you!

In reply to Rivkah Gottlieb. You could try another soft, sweet cheese like marscapone that has less tang to it.

In reply to Rivkah Gottlieb. Unfortunately, I can't say for sure how it would turn out. For best results, I would recommend sticking to the recipe. :(

Will it work if I do less cream cheese and/or sour cream? I taste the sourness of the cream cheese and sour cream very strongly with full amount.

In reply to Cathy. Hi Cathy! You shouldn't need to spray your pan, unless your pan isn't a non-stick pan. I say prepared pan, because you've added the crust to the pan already. :)

Love the pie!! Question: I had trouble getting the Oreo crust out of the pie pan. It says pour into a “prepared pan” – should I have sprayed it?
Thanks.

Yay! The pie is just absolutely delicious & I’m so happy I can freeze it up to 2 months :).

Happy Pi-day

In reply to Josie Kolbech. Hi Josie! It should last for a couple of months in the freezer. :)

Hello! How long can I freeze the pie? Thanks!

In reply to Ann Letteer. Hi Ann! I would suspect it would probably stick to the cupcake liners. It may work if you use foil liners, but I'm not really sure. it is a pretty soft pie.

Ann Letteer — Mon, 11 Apr 2022 22:54:58 +0000

If I make this in individual servings using cupcake tins with cupcake liners will the pie hold up when I remove the papers? I’ve done this with my keylime pie recipe and wondered if it work the same with this chocolate pie.

In reply to Krystal. Hi Krystal! It's rich, but I don't think too sweet. It kind of like a no bake chocolate cheesecake. I actually buy a jar of instant coffee because I'm not really a coffee drinker either. It just looks like bigger coffee grounds. Espresso powder is a little stronger so you'd want to use a little less if that's that route you want to take. :)

Krystal — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 03:00:58 +0000

Is this really rich and sweet? I’ve made other similar pies all asking for the dark to semi sweet chocolate which ends up being too sweet. Also, when you say instant coffee just the mix or made coffee from the granulates? And is espresso powder the same? Sorry not a coffee drinker, so I don’t know the difference. Thanks!
