- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream divided
- 1/4 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and half of the heavy cream. Heat on high for 1–2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, beat the remaining heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, adding one-third at a time, until fully blended.
Spoon the chocolate cream into the prepared crust, smoothing the top.
Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight until firm.
Slice and serve with whipped cream.
