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:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
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.

This was fantastic. I made this for my family over New Years and everyone loved it, not a bite left!! They all thought it was restaurant quality! No need to tell them how simple it is to make ;

Everyone loved this pie. Had to make the chocolate whipped filling twice b/c the cream wouldn't whip. The second time, I whipped the cream by itself and then folded in the chocolate and it worked beautifully. I did omit the whip cream topping on the pie but offered it on the side--it is needed but the pie had so much filling already. Should have used a 10 inch pie. I'll definitely make this one again!

This pie was a snap to make and was delicious to eat. I made it for one of our desserts this Christmas and it was a hit. I piped the whipped cream on the top and added chocolate shavings as suggested and it looked just beautiful. Everyone thought it was delicious and there was nothing left. If you thought it was too rich, what did you expect? Have a thinner slice but enjoy it. It's a great dessert.
