Instructions
For the pie dough:
- In a food processor, pulse flour, cubed butter, and salt until ingredients form pea-size crumbs.
- Add cold water one or two tablespoons at a time until dough comes together. Remove and form into a ball, then wrap and cool in fridge.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into a circular shape about ¼-inch thick, and transfer to a pie tin or torte pan.
For the filling:
- Place chocolate, vanilla, and salt in a food processor fitted with metal blade. Place 1 cup of the cream into a 2-cup heatproof glass measuring cup, place in the microwave, and bring to a boil (approx. 60 seconds). With the lid on the processor, and the processor running, slowly and carefully pour in the hot cream. Process until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Transfer melted chocolate into a large mixing bowl and let cool, stirring occasionally.
- Once cool, place the sugar and remaining 2 cups of the chilled cream into a bowl. Whisk into stiff peaks. In batches, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour into crust and chill for at least 6 hours or until set.
- Top with mint whipped cream.
For the mint whipped cream:
- Whip all on high into stiff peaks and pipe on top of chocolate pie.
