Ingredients

1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
Whipped cream, for topping
Chocolate curls, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and add the semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the sugar and flour mixture, whisking constantly until smooth.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Once completely cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, whip the remaining ¼ cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the pie and garnish with chocolate curls.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
