Ingredients

Truffle Filling:

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust

Whipped Chocolate Filling:

  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Whipped Cream Topping:

Garnish:

  • 1 1/2 ounces milk chocolate
  • 1 1/2 ounces white chocolate
  • 1 1/2 ounces semisweet or dark chocolate

Directions

For the truffle filling, in a saucepan, bring 2/3 cup cream to a simmer. Place the 6 ounces chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then gently whisk until smooth. Spread truffle filling over the bottom of the prepared piecrust. Freeze for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, for the whipped chocolate filling, in a double boiler or a microwave set on low power, heat the 6 ounces chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of the cream until the chocolate is just melted, stirring often. Let cool to room temperature. In a chilled bowl, beat the chocolate mixture, remainint 1 cup of cream and the vanilla until soft peaks form (tips 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.

    I make this every Holiday since I have found this. EVERYBODY adores this and always compliment me on it. There are NEVER any leftovers either. This is delicious. But would you expect anything different from Ms. Dean though. Just love her don't cha? One of my sons even asked for this as his cake for his birthday instead of anything else homemade or store or bakery bought. So I tripled it and it was as always AWESOME> Thank you Paula♥ One thing though, I use semisweet or sometimes I put semisweet in the truffle then milk chocolate in the mousse. I have tried this with white chocolate and used raspberry preserves instead of the truffle but it was way too rich so we will stick to the original. Thank you.

    I have made this a few times now, and each and every time, my guests rave about this pie! I love it as well, though I'm not a big fan of bittersweet chocolate. It's just THAT darned good.
