Instructions

• Step 1

  Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.

• Step 2

  Make the crust: Add the chocolate sandwich cookies and granulated sugar to a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse 4 times, or until the crumbs are moistened.

• Step 3

  Press the crust mixture evenly against the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, leaving 1/2 inch of space from the top of the pan.

• Step 4

  Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust begins to puff slightly. Remove from the oven and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 25–30 minutes.

• Step 5

  Make the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder, and vanilla until smooth.

• Step 6

  In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped Godiva Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bars and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, 1 minute total. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

• Step 7

  Add the cocoa mixture to the bowl of melted chocolate and whisk to combine.

• Step 8

  In a large bowl, whip the remaining 2 3/4 cups of heavy cream with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 minutes. Transfer 1 1/3 cups of whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.

• Step 9

  Add the granulated sugar and salt to the bowl with the remaining whipped cream and whip on low speed for 30 seconds, until fully combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate mixture, 1/3 at a time, until incorporated and smooth. With the hand mixer, beat once more for 30 seconds to stiffen.

• Step 10

  Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the filling evenly on top. Freeze for 1hour, until the filling is firm.

• Step 11

  Meanwhile, add the powdered sugar to the reserved whipped cream and whip on low speed until smooth, 1 minute. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and refrigerate until ready to use.

• Step 12

  Remove the pie from the freezer and pipe 10 dollops of whipped cream around the edges. Place a square of Godiva Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bar on each of the whipped cream dollops.

• Step 13

  Cut the pie into 6–8 slices and use a vegetable peeler to shave curls of the remaining Godiva Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bar on top of each slice.

• Step 14

  Enjoy!
