Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch chocolate cookie crust
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups sifted unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add the sifted cocoa powder and milk, alternating between them, until well combined.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted, cooled unsweetened chocolate until the filling is smooth and uniform.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared chocolate cookie crust.
  6. Spread the filling evenly to create a smooth top.
  7. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
  8. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  9. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • Ensure your unsweetened chocolate is completely cooled before adding it to the filling to prevent it from melting the butter mixture.
  • For the smoothest texture, sift your cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
  • Use a good quality unsweetened chocolate for the best flavor.
  • The chilling time is crucial for the pie to set properly.
