Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams chocolate wafer cookies
- 90 grams unsalted butter
- 300 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 480 milliliters heavy cream
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 5 milliliters pure vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters whipped cream
- 20 grams chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Crush the chocolate wafer cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then combine it with the crushed cookies in a mixing bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, creating a crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a heatproof bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
In a small saucepan, heat 240 milliliters of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then pour it over the chocolate chips.
Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy to create the ganache.
Pour the ganache into the cooled pie crust and spread it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for 1-2 hours or until the ganache is set.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 240 milliliters of heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until medium peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled ganache layer.
Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired and refrigerate the pie for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Chocolate Wafer Pie!
