Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 20 graham crackers
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Truffle Filling

  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream

Whipped Chocolate Filling

  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • Shaved chocolate, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and granulated sugar until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 7 minutes. Then, place the pie dish on a cooling rack and allow the crust to cool completely.
  2. Make the truffle filling: Heat 2/3 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Place 6 ounces of chopped bittersweet chocolate in a medium bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Let it stand for 1 minute, then whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Spread this truffle mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Freeze the pie for 20 minutes or until the filling firms up.
  3. Prepare the whipped chocolate filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each burst, until the chocolate is melted and smooth without overheating. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the remaining 1 cup heavy cream on medium speed until thickened. Fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream and continue beating until soft peaks form. Spread this light and airy chocolate mixture over the truffle-filled crust. Refrigerate the pie overnight to set.
  4. Whip the cream topping and serve: Before serving, beat 1 cup of heavy cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Add 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream topping evenly over the chilled pie. Garnish the top with shaved chocolate for an elegant finish. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use high-quality bittersweet chocolate for a rich and balanced flavor.
  • Ensure the crust is completely cooled before adding the fillings to prevent melting.
  • Microwave chocolate mixture in short bursts to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • Refrigerating overnight helps the whipped chocolate filling set perfectly for clean slices.
  • Store any leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
