Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • microwave safe bowl
  • electric mixer
  • vegetable peeler
  • knife

Ingredients
  

Truffle Filling

  • cup heavy cream
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips about 1 cup
  • 1 9-inch graham cracker crust See Notes

Whipped Chocolate Filling

  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips about 1 cup
  • cups heavy cream divided
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

Garnish

  • 1 oz milk chocolate bar optional (approx. ⅓ of a 3-oz. bar) for shavings

Instructions
 

Truffle Filling

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring ⅔ cup of heavy cream to a simmer. Place 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then gently whisk until smooth. Spread the truffle filling over the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Freeze for 20 minutes.

Whipped Chocolate Filling

  • Combine 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips with ½ cup of heavy cream inside of a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at half power in 30 second increments, stirring in-between each interval. Repeat until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla and let the chocolate ganache cool to room temperature.
  • In a chilled bowl, combine the chocolate ganache with 1 cup of heavy cream. Beat until thickened and medium peaks form. Spread the whipped chocolate filling over the truffle filling and refrigerate pie for 6 hours to overnight.

Whipped Cream Topping

  • Just before serving, combine 1 cup heavy cream and ¼ cup powdered sugar inside the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie.

Garnish

  • Use a vegetable peeler to peel chocolate shavings directly over the top of the pie. Use a knife to cut the pie into slices. Rinse and wipe the knife with a towel after each cut.

Notes

A 9-inch crust will be FULL (mounded) with filling. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 5-7 days. Will freeze well for 1-2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.
