Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreo crumbs)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Dark Chocolate Layer:

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the White Chocolate Layer:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings or curls (for garnish)

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Crust

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles wet sand.
  3. Form the Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Bake & Cool: Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely before adding the chocolate layers.

Step 2: Make the Dark Chocolate Layer

  1. Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Remove from heat and stir in dark chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Pour & Chill: Pour the dark chocolate mixture into the cooled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.

Step 3: Make the Milk Chocolate Layer

  1. Heat the Cream: Repeat the process by heating ½ cup heavy cream until simmering.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Remove from heat and stir in milk chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour & Chill: Pour the milk chocolate mixture over the set dark chocolate layer and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Make the White Chocolate Layer

  1. Heat the Cream: Again, heat ½ cup heavy cream over medium heat until simmering.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour & Chill: Pour the white chocolate mixture over the set milk chocolate layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

  1. Add Toppings: Once the pie is fully set, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or curls for an elegant finish.
  2. Slice & Enjoy: Use a sharp, warm knife (run it under hot water and wipe dry) to cut clean slices.

Cooking Notes

  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the richer and creamier the pie will be.
  • Crust Alternative: Swap the chocolate cookie crust for a graham cracker or shortbread crust for a different flavor twist.
  • Make It Extra Decadent: Drizzle with chocolate ganache or caramel sauce before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with Fresh Berries: Serve with strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a fruity contrast.
  • Enjoy with Coffee or Wine: A slice of this pie pairs beautifully with espresso or a glass of red wine.
  • Holiday Favorite: This is an ideal Thanksgiving, Christmas, or birthday dessert!

Tips

  1. Chill Between Layers: Let each layer set before adding the next to keep the pie neat and defined.
  2. Use a Springform Pan for a Fancy Look: If you want clean slices and a more structured presentation, use a springform pan instead of a pie dish.
  3. Make Ahead: This pie stores well in the fridge for up to 5 days, making it a great make-ahead dessert.
