Note

Wrap the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing to prevent freezer burn. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.

For clean slices, wipe the knife with a warm, damp cloth between cuts.

You can substitute the cocoa graham crust with a regular graham cracker crust or a chocolate cookie crust for a different flavor profile.

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
