Ingredients · Servings 8
- 12 ounce semisweet or dark chocolate chips

Method · 8 h 15 min
- 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!
