1

Prepare the crust

In a bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of crushed chocolate cookies with ½ cup of melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Pop it into the fridge to chill while you move on to the next step.

2

Make the chocolate mousse

In a heatproof bowl, melt 8 ounces of dark chocolate and set it aside to cool slightly. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of heavy cream, ⅓ cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted chocolate until well combined and no streaks remain.

3

Assemble the pie

Pour the chocolate mousse mixture into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Place the pie in the fridge and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.

4

Garnish and serve

Before serving, whip up some additional whipped cream by beating 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until it reaches your desired consistency. Dollop the whipped cream onto the chilled pie and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for an extra touch of deliciousness. Slice, serve, and savor!
