What Do I Need to Make Mini Chocolate Fudge Cream Pies?
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- All-purpose flour
- Salt
- Semi-sweet chocolate squares
- Milk
- Vanilla extract
- Frozen whipped topping (like CoolWhip)
- Mini muffin tin
- Whisk
- Stand mixer

How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream
These mini cream pies are made with Cool Whip in the filling and dolloped on top. However, if you would like to, you can top them with homemade whipped cream. It’s easy to make and absolutely scrumptious.
How to Make Mini Chocolate Fudge Cream Pies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Add the flour and salt and mix until a ball of dough forms.
- Divide dough into 24 (2 teaspoon-sized) balls and press each one into the bottom and up the sides of each greased muffin cup. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and press the crust back into the pan with the tip of your finger or the back of a small spoon. Return to the oven for 6-8 minutes longer or until crusts are just starting to turn brown around the top edges.
- Remove mini pie crusts from the oven and let cool in the pan while you prepare the filling.
- Place chocolate squares and milk in a large microwaveable bowl.
- Melt the chocolate and milk on medium power in 30-second intervals until completely melted. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and then fold in 1-1/2 cups of the thawed whipped topping.
- Scoop a few teaspoons of the chocolate filling into each pie crust filling each one full.
- Top with a dollop of the remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with some chopped chocolate.
- Remove from the pan and serve immediately or store covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Let set out for about 15 minutes before serving to soften the filling.

Thank you so much for another wonderful recipe. I made your pumpkin and pecan mini pies and also these to have a variety of mini pie like treats. I cut the cookie dough into thirds and added black cocoa powder to 1/3 and matched it with cookies and cream mousse, added peanut butter to 1/3 and used your chocolate filling, and added a hint of lemon to the last 1/3 and filled those with no bake cheesecake. Everyone loved them. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, directions, and videos.
