Chocolate Silk Pie

This vintage cocoa-flavored pie gets its signature satiny, mousse-like texture without the addition of gelatin—and the recipe is simple enough to whip up on any night sans fuss. No fancy presentation is needed. Just top with lightly sweetened whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

Sweet and salty come together for the ultimate in refreshing desserts. A peanut butter cookie crust holds the rich and creamy chocolate custard filling. Use an ice cream scoop to make neat rounds of whipped cream for the top.

Mississippi Mud Pie

There is no shortage of chocolate here from the Oreo cookie crust to three filling layers—rich brownie, creamy chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped cream. Keep refridgerated and serve chilled.

A combination of chocolate, bourbon, and pecans has earned this pretty pie a spot as one of the South's most beloved desserts. Prepare for rave reviews at the family holiday gathering.

Chocolate Pumpkin Pie

When there are usually so many decisions to make over choosing desserts, this pie does it for you. It combines a chocolate torte with a classic pumpkin pie. You can have both.

Texas Trash Pie

This pie hails from Round Top, Texas and is all about the flavor and texture. It's the just-right combination of sweet and salty; creamy and crunchy thanks to a filling made with crushed pretzels, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, graham crackers, pecans pieces, and caramel bits.

Chocolate-Pecan Chess Pie

All you need is 20 minutes of hands on time to make this chocolatey version of a chess pie. The traditional gooey, custard-like filling gets an addition of cocoa powder while a layer semi-sweet chocolate chips lines the bottom of the prepared crust.

Chocolate-Banana Custard Pie

You likely already have the ingredients on hand to make this indulgent dessert. Just when you thought a creamy banana pie couldn’t get any better, chocolate custard takes it to new heights.

Double-Chocolate Pecan Pie

Chocolate and pecans taste so good together that we doubled down on the indulgence by combining a dark chocolate pie crust (made with cocoa powder), sticky chocolate-pecan filling, and extra chocolate drizzle for good measure. This is pretty enough for company, but you’ll want to keep it for yourself.

Fresh Mint Chocolate Pie

You won’t need to raid your pantry or run to the store for a bottle of extract for this recipe. Use your bounty of mint from the garden in this delightfully fresh, minty pie. The chocolate custard filling is infused with fresh mint that you can’t replicate with an extract.

Barbara Bush's Chocolate Pecan Pie

Your holiday crowd might question the addition of chocolate to a classic pecan pie, but that just means they haven't tried Barbra Bush's version. Plus it doesn't get any easier than a six-ingredient filling and two-ingredient crust, but you can also use a premade version in a pinch.
