Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Crisped rice cereal
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings or curls (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the crust by grinding the chocolate sandwich cookies into a fine crumb using a food processor.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stove, then mix it with the cookie crumbs until combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
To prepare the filling, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, until smooth.
In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir the warm cream into the melted chocolate until smooth and glossy.
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
Gently fold the crisped rice cereal into the chocolate mixture, ensuring the cereal is evenly distributed.
Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream, spreading evenly or piping it decoratively around the edges.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls for an elegant finish. Slice and serve chilled.
