How to make Easy Chocolate Truffle Pie:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
- In a microwave-safe dish, combine the chocolate chips and ½ of the cream; cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Stir in the espresso powder, if using. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the sugar and vanilla. Set aside.
- In a medium-bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream until soft peaks form. On high-speed, beat in the chocolate mixture, ⅓ at a time. Spoon the chocolate cream into the crust.
- Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 8 hours) before serving.
- Serve topped with a spoonful of whipped cream. Maybe even some chocolate shavings, if you’re feeling fancy!
Recipe Tips:
- If you don’t have a microwave, simply place a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water and let the chocolate melt that way.
- Don’t skip the espresso powder! It’s an ingredient that helps bring out the delicious, rich flavor of the chocolate.
