The Deen Bros Truffle Pie
Ingredients:
TRUFFLE FILLING:
- 2⁄3 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust
WHIPPED CHOCOLATE FILLING:
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄4 cup confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
GARNISH:
- 1 1⁄2 ounces milk chocolate
- 1 1⁄2 ounces white chocolate
- 1 1⁄2 ounces semisweet or dark chocolate
For the truffle filling, in a saucepan, bring 2⁄3 cup cream to a simmer.
Place the 6 ounces chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the hot cream
over the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then gently whisk until
smooth. Spread truffle filling over the bottom of the prepared piecrust.
Freeze for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the whipped chocolate filling, in a double boiler or a
microwave set on low power, heat the 6 ounces chocolate chips with 1⁄2
cup of the cream until the chocolate is just melted, stirring often. Let
cool to room temperature. In a chilled bowl, beat the remaining 1 cup
cream until thick. Add the chocolate mixture and the vanilla and beat
until soft peaks form (tips curl). Spread the whipped chocolate mixture
over the truffle filing in the crust. Refrigerate overnight.
