No Bake Chocolate Pie

8 to 10 slices
Pay de Chocolate

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces chocolate wafer cookies
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Pinch kosher or coarse sea salt
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

To Prepare

  • In a food processor, (or mashing inside a plastic bag with a rolling pin or mug) pulse the chocolate wafers until finely ground, transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then pour it over the ground wafers. Add a pinch of salt and mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Turn the mixture into to a 9-inch glass pie or baking dish. Press with your hands or a mug, to create a crust that covers the bottom and goes up the sides of the dish. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, or pop it in the freezer for 5 minutes, to form a firm crust.
  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the ricotta for a few seconds until fluffed up. Add the melted chocolate and puree for about 45 seconds more, until creamy and thoroughly mixed.
  • Using a whisk or fork, whip 1/4 cup of whipping cream in a large bowl until it thickens. Add the ricotta chocolate mixture to the whipped cream, stir it well to combine.
  • Remove the crust from refrigerator and spread the filling inside. Place it back in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.
