Chocolate Truffle Pie (No Bake)





Last night, I just couldn’t sleep for the world.  I finally gave up, & got out of bed to find something to keep me busy while I waited for that sleepy feeling to hit me.  I turned on the television & found that one of my favorite movies, ‘Hairspray’ was on television.  Something about John Travolta as a woman just cracks me up every time!  I’m not one to just sit down & watch a good movie though.  I have to be doing something!  So, I looked around the kitchen to see what I had on hand, and what I could make with it.  Grocery day is tomorrow though, so what we have on hand is very limited until then!  After pondering for a few minutes, it hit me.  Chocolate Truffle Pie!  It requires very little ingredients, and those ingredients are usually ones that I have on hand.  Plus, along with being incredibly rich & tasty – it’s quick!  You with me on this one?   


Here is what you need.  (Click on the picture if you need a larger image)







In a medium, microwavable bowl – combine the chocolate chips & 3/4 cup of cream.  Microwave in 30 second increments stirring each time, for a total of 2 minutes.  Whisk until smooth.







Cool the chocolate cream mixture for about 10-15 minutes for it to come to room temperature.  Stir in the vanilla & sifted confectioners sugar.







In a separate bowl, beat the remaining cup of heavy whipping cream until it forms a soft peak.  Beat in the chocolate mixture 1/3 at a time on high speed.  Pour into the pie crust.







Refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.
