Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups of chocolate cookie crumbs
½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 cup of granulated sugar
½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup of all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
Chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well mixed. The texture should resemble wet sand.
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie pan and press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake for about 10 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and flour until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled crust, smoothing it out evenly. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set around the edges but slightly wobbly in the center.
Let the pie cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
Once chilled, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread this over the top of the pie.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows, if desired.
Serve chilled, optionally with a cup of coffee or vanilla ice cream.
