Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground into crumbs.
In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter, mixing until the texture is similar to wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
While the crust is cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth.
Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly. Meanwhile, whip 1 cup of the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated, then gently fold in the whipped cream. Spread this chocolate mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing the top.
In another bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream with the unsweetened cocoa powder until stiff peaks form.
Spread the cocoa whipped cream over the chocolate layer, creating the final layer of the pie.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set.
Before serving, garnish the top with chocolate shavings for an elegant finish. Slice and enjoy your Decadent Triple Layer Mud Pie!
