A cookie crust filled with rich, creamy chocolate filling and topped with a luscious whipped cream, this dessert is a showstopper for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened
  • 1/4 cup hot fudge sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust.
  2. Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the crust. Place the pie plate in the freezer for 1 hour to set.
  3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the hot fudge sauce until warm. Stir well and pour the sauce over the chocolate ice cream layer. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Return the pie plate to the freezer for another hour.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  5. Remove the pie plate from the freezer and spread the whipped cream over the hot fudge layer. Use a spatula to create decorative peaks.
  6. Garnish with chocolate shavings on top. Place the pie back in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  7. Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Slice and indulge!
