1 (9″) chocolate cookie crumb crust*
1/2 cup sugar
1 (8 oz) pkg softened cream cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise (regular mayo, NOT miracle whip or sandwich spread)
2 eggs
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

*you can make your own crust from chocolate cookie crumbs, or buy a pre-made one from your grocery store.

preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the rack in the middle position.

beat the sugar with the softened cream cheese until it’s thoroughly blended. add the mayonnaise and the eggs. beat well.

melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 40 seconds. stir them to see if they are melted. (don’t be fooled – chips may retain their shape even when they’re melted.) if they’re not melted, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each attempt, until you can stir them smooth. set the melted chips on the counter to cool for a moment or two.

when you can comfortably cup your hands around the bowl holding the melted chips, mix them gradually into the batter. then add the vanilla and mix well.

remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips by hand.

spoon the pie batter into the cookie crust and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.

bake the pie at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

cool the pie on a wire rack and then refrigerate. take your pie out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving. serve with sweetened whipped cream on top.
