Ingredients
For the Crust
- 24 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
- 5 tbsp Butter, melted
For the Filling
- 8 oz Semisweet Chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream, cold
For the Topping
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, cold
- 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
- 1 oz Dark Chocolate, for shavings
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor, mix with the melted butter, and press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, then let it cool for 10 minutes until room temperature but still pourable.
- Beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the cooled melted chocolate and vanilla until the mixture is completely silky.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of cold heavy cream to stiff peaks, then fold it into the chocolate mixture in three additions until no streaks remain.
- Spread the filling into the chilled crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Whip the remaining 1 cup of cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar to medium peaks and spread or pipe it over the pie.
- Shave the dark chocolate over the top with a vegetable peeler and serve chilled - the filling is unbelievably smooth and silky.
