Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the chocolate wafer cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
-
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches a temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from heat and stir in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate until melted and smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined. Stir in the truffle oil.
-
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
-
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

Enjoy!
