Directions

    Cookie Crust:

    1. Use a food processor to blend chocolate sandwich cookies and pulse until it resembles smooth sand. Melt 5 Tbsp. butter and mix with cookie crumbs.

    2. Press evenly into a 9-inch pie pan and place in freezer to chill while you prepare filling.

    Chocolate Filling:

    1. Add 8 oz. cacao wafers and cubed butter to a heat-safe bowl. Heat 1 cup heavy cream for 20-30 second intervals in microwave, until steaming. Do not burn. Pour over chocolate wafers and allow to sit for several minutes. Use a rubber spatula or whisk to combine until thick. Place in fridge to cool.

    2. Add remaining filling ingredients to a mixing bowl and whip together until just combined. When cacao wafer/heavy cream mixture is cooled, gently combine both mixtures together and spoon filling into chilled pie shell.

    Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream:

    1. Combine whipped cream ingredients in a bowl and whisk until stiff peaks form. Top chocolate pie with whipped cream. Dust with cacao powder for garnish.

    2. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

    Notes: 

    • Pie is best enjoyed within 5 days. Keep pumpkin spice whipped topping separate to make pie last longer.
    • Whipped cream may separate in fridge after several days. Use a whisk to bring it back together.
    • Chill time is important so crust has time to set and will retain shape after slicing. Speed up chill time by utilizing freezer if needed.
