FOR THE BASE
- Mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter together in the cake pan, press down evenly on the bottom of the pan. Cover and place in the freezer.
- While the base is in the freezer, prepare the filling.
- In a small pot add the sugar and water, bring to a boil and continue at a slow boil for approximately 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a blender add the chopped chocolate and hot boiled sugar mixture. Blend for approximately 2 minutes, pour into a bowl and let cool.
- In a medium bowl beat together the cream and mascarpone until very thick, fold in the cooled mixture until smooth. Pour onto the cookie base.
- Cover with plastic wrap (make sure the plastic touches the top of the chocolate mixture), freeze for at least 8 hours or over night. Remove from the pan, slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and grated chocolate. Enjoy!

WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
- Whip the cream until stiff, if you like a sweeter whipped cream then you can add ½-1 tablespoon of powdered sugar when beating.
Notes
- You could also make individual mini pies if you prefer. The recipe should make approximately 4-6 mini tarts.
- To make it easier to slice, let your pie sit out for at least 10 minutes up to 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Store the pie near the back for your freezer for up to 2 months. Be sure to keep it tightly covered in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
