No worries if you don’t have chocolate cookies for the crust! I use graham crackers all the time in my Triple Chocolate Pie, and it tastes just as amazing. You can grab everything on this list during your normal shopping trip. This amazing Triple Chocolate Pie gets its amazing taste from high-quality chocolate – it truly makes all the difference!

Here’s my Triple Chocolate Pie secret that takes it from good to incredible: a pinch of sea salt in each chocolate layer. It balances the sweetness perfectly. I love adding extra vanilla extract to my Triple Chocolate Pie for that extra kick of flavor. Store your chocolate in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and ready for baking!

Let’s Make Some!

Time to dive into the delicious magic! This is my favorite part of making Triple Chocolate Pie – watch the magic happen! I’m going to guide you through each step like we’re cooking together in my kitchen, turning your love for chocolate into the best dessert pie ever. Let’s get started!

Prepare the Crust:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
In my kitchen, this usually takes about 15-20 minutes to cool completely!

Make the Dark Chocolate Layer:

In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), combine the dark chocolate, heavy cream, and butter.
Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the dark chocolate mixture over the cooled crust.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the layer to set. This is where the magic starts happening!

Make the Milk Chocolate Layer:

Repeat the same process as the dark chocolate layer, but with milk chocolate.
In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), combine the milk chocolate, heavy cream, and butter.
Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the milk chocolate mixture over the set dark chocolate layer.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the layer to set. While your Triple Chocolate Pie is doing its thing, get ready for some amazing aromas!

Make the White Chocolate Layer:

Repeat the same process as the dark and milk chocolate layers, but with white chocolate.
In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), combine the white chocolate, heavy cream, and butter.
Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the white chocolate mixture over the set milk chocolate layer.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the **decadent Triple Chocolate Pie** to set completely.

Garnish and Serve:

Once the Triple Chocolate Pie is fully set, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled.
Don’t worry if your Triple Chocolate Pie looks a little uneven – it’ll still taste incredible!

My Triple Chocolate Pie Flavor Secrets:

High-Quality Chocolate: Always use the best chocolate you can find. It makes a world of difference in the taste and texture.
Pinch of Salt: A little sea salt in each layer enhances the chocolate flavor and balances the sweetness.
Patience: Allow each layer to set properly in the refrigerator before adding the next one. It’s worth the wait!

Here are a few delicious Triple Chocolate Pie variations I’ve tested:

Mint Chocolate: Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the dark chocolate layer for a refreshing twist.
Peanut Butter Cup: Swirl peanut butter into the milk chocolate layer for a nutty, decadent flavor.
Espresso: Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the dark chocolate layer for a mocha-inspired pie.

For a regular family dinner, I love the classic Triple Chocolate Pie. But for the holidays, the mint chocolate version is always a hit. For special occasions, I go all out with the peanut butter cup variation.
