  3. Fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined.
  4. Sprinkle in a cup of mini chocolate chips and fold them evenly throughout the mixture.

Keep the pie covered in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. For an extra flavor boost, add almond extract to the cream cheese mixture, or swap the chocolate crust for a graham cracker crust.
