curl). Spread the whipped chocolate mixture over the truffle filling in the crust.
Refrigerate overnight.
For the topping, just before serving, beat 1 cup cream on medium speed of an electric
mixer until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and whip until stiff peaks form
(tips stand straight). Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie. Using a grater or
vegetable peeler, make pieces or shavings of milk chocolate, white chocolate, and
semisweet or dark chocolate. Garnish pie with chocolate pieces. Serve immediately.
