12 ounce semisweet or dark chocolate chips
1½ cups heavy whipping cream, divided
½ teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional, but it bring out the flavor of the chocolate!)
¼ cup sifted powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
One 9-inch prepared store-bought chocolate cookie crumb crust (see notes below to make homemade)
additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings, for serving (if desired)

In a microwave-safe dish, combine the chocolate chips and ½ of the cream; cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Stir in the espresso powder, if using. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the sugar and vanilla. Set aside.
In a medium-bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream until soft peaks form. On high-speed, beat in the chocolate mixture, ⅓ at a time. Spoon the chocolate cream into the crust.
Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 8 hours) before serving.
Serve topped with a spoonful of whipped cream. Maybe even some chocolate shavings, if you're feeling fancy!

If you want to make your own chocolate cookie crust, combine 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (either from chocolate cookie crumbs or crushed Oreo cookies) with 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie pan, and chill until firm.
