Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Stir in the chopped chocolate and butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding filling into the cooled pie crust.
Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
For the whipped cream topping (optional): In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Spread or pipe whipped cream over the chilled pie before serving.
