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
- 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.
- Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the crust. Place the pie plate in the freezer for 1 hour to set.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the pie plate from the freezer and spread the whipped cream over the hot fudge layer. Use a spatula to create decorative peaks.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings on top. Place the pie back in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Slice and indulge!
