Servings: 10
Calories: 347kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 batch pie crust
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1 1/3 cups)
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped stiffly
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped softly with 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- chocolate shavings* (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Roll out the pie crust to about 1 1/2 inches wider than the pie dish, fit it in, and roll and crimp the edge.
- Dock the bottom of the crust by piercing it a few times with a fork, then line it with parchment and weigh it down with dry beans or ceramic pie weights.
- Bake the crust until golden brown and crisp (about 30 to 35 minutes), and allow to cool completely before filling.
- Place the chocolate chips, water, cocoa, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl, and microwave in short, 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval until the mixture is melted and smooth (this can also be done over a double boiler).
- Fold in the whipped cream and vanilla extract.
- Transfer the filling to the pre-baked crust, and chill in the refrigerator until set (about 2 hours).
- Pipe swirls of sweetened whipped cream over the chocolate filling, then garnish with chocolate shavings.

Notes
