Chocolate Delight Pie

1. In a heavy, small saucepan, combine 1-3/4 cups of the chocolate pieces and 1/4 cup of the milk; heat and stir over low heat until chocolate pieces are melted. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light. Gradually beat in melted chocolate mixture and remaining milk. Fold in whipped topping.

2. Spoon into pie shell. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. To serve, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a heavy, small saucepan, combine remaining chocolate pieces and the shortening; heat and stir over low heat until melted. Drizzle over pie. Makes 8 servings.
