This is always a huge hit. In Ohio, the was "the" dessert among our group of friends. And it's super simple: mix it up, freeze, and serve.

1 (3 oz) package cream cheese,softened
1/2 C sugar
1 t vanilla extract
1/3 C baking cocoa
1/3 C milk
1 (8 oz) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (9 inch) baked pie shell (or pre-made)
Chocolate curls or chips (optional)

1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add cocoa alternately with milk; mix well. Fold in whipped topping. Pour into pie shell. Freeze for 8 hours or overnight. If desired, garnish with choc curls or chips. Serve directly from freezer (pie does not need to be thawed).
