Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.75 cups Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream, for topping
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies until they form fine crumbs.
In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of heavy cream, and instant espresso powder. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the remaining 3/4 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until combined and smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, top the pie with additional whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
