TREAT: (Very) Rich Chocolate Truffle Silk Pie

This pie is VERY rich, so I definitely recommend eating it in small slices, with some whipped cream and berries and some red wine (or milk!) 


Ingredients: 

• 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream 
• 1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar 
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 
• 1 (9 inch) prepared cookie crumb crust 

Directions:

• In a microwave dish, combine chocolate chips and 1/2 of the cream.  Cook on high for 1-2 minutes and stir constantly (at least every 30 seconds) until smooth.  

• Cool to room temperature. 

• Stir in sugar and vanilla and set aside 

• In a small bowl, beat the rest of the cream until soft peaks form. 

• Beat in the chocolate mixture on high speed 1/3 at a time.  Mix well and spoon into the crust. 
• Refrigerate before serving (ideally over 8 hours)
