Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Instant espresso powder
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Whipped topping or whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs.
Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, stir in the melted butter, and mix until evenly combined.
Press the cookie mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust on the bottom and sides.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, granulated sugar, and espresso powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract, cooled melted chocolate, and cooled cream mixture to the cream cheese. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust and spread it evenly.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
Once the filling is set, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the pie.
Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
