I have never seen a pie be devoured so quickly.
I brought this to our Fantasy Football draft party to go with our Chicken Bacon Bites, Cheetos and beer (or in my case, wine).
5 hours later, after all the smack-talking, strategizing, and football nonsense was over, we served up this pie. There was a newborn baby present. Picture 12 adults racing over and around said baby for a piece of pie. Leaping and pushing. Just immature. Sorry baby.
Next time I will bring something less delicious. I kid. (No pun intended.)

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
Chocolate shavings/curls for garnish
Chocolate Truffle layer:
6 ounces dark chocolate chips
2/3 cups heavy cream
Whipped White Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse
6 ounces white chocolate chips
8 ounces creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make the crust, combine butter and graham crumbs in a bowl until moistened. Press into a 8 or 9-inch pie plate or spring-form pan and stick in the fridge while you make the truffle layer.
To make the truffle layer, place chocolate in a large bowl. Heat cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat until it just begins to bubble. Pour cream over the chocolate and let sit for a minute, then stir continuously until a dark chocolate forms. Pour into the crust then stick in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
For the whipped layer, melt the chocolate, peanut butter and 1/2 cup of cream together, either in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir constantly until it is completely combined. Let cool completely. Take the remaining cold whipped cream and add it to the bowl of your electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Beat until stiff peaks form, then slowly pour in the chocolate peanut butter mixture, using a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed. Spread whipped layer evenly over the truffle layer, then refrigerate overnight.
Right before serving, whip the other 1 1/2 cups of cream (just like you did when you started for the truffle layer) and spread on top of the pie. Cover with chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.
