Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 24 crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream and 6 oz melted and cooled semisweet chocolate chips along with 1 tsp vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
  5. Step 5: Before serving, spread 1 cup whipped cream evenly over the pie and garnish with chocolate shavings or cookie crumbs if desired.
