In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies (cream filling removed) until they form fine crumbs.
In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to pack it down.
Prepare the Filling:
In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring at 20-second intervals until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly.
Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Combine and Chill:
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the chocolate pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
Before serving, you can garnish the pie with additional whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
Notes:
You can use a pre-made chocolate cookie crust to save even more time.
Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for varied flavors.
For added richness, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the whipped cream.
Ensure the chocolate is not too hot when folding it into the whipped cream to prevent the mixture from becoming too runny.
