Ingredients

Truffle Filling:

  • 2 cups Ghiradelli semisweet chcolate chips
  • 3 cups heavy cream divided (You’ll use 2 1/2 cups first and then 1/2 cup later)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature

Crust:

  • 1 prepared pie crust

Whipped Cream Topping:

  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • crushed peppermint candies, Andes peppermint crunch baking chips, or shaved chocolate optional for garnish

Instructions

Make the Truffle Filling

  • Place chopped chocolate in a bowl. Heat 2 1/2 cups of the cream to a simmer, then pour over chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then add vanilla and whisk until smooth. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours.
  • Once chilled, beat the chocolate mixture with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until fluffy.
  • In a small bowl, blend softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup heavy cream until smooth and thick. Mix the cream cheese mixture into the whipped chocolate filling until fully combined with no white streaks.

Assemble the Pie

  • Spread the chocolate truffle filling into the prepared pie crust.

Make Whipped Topping

  • Combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream over the pie.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. If desired top with Andes crunch baking pieces or shaved chocolate when serving.
