Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Crush chocolate wafer cookies into fine crumbs (about 26 cookies) and mix with 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until moist and crumbly.
  3. Press the mixture firmly over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  4. Bake the crust for 5 minutes until set, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a small saucepan, soften 1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup water for 2 minutes.
  6. Heat gently over low heat, stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  7. Stir in 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup malted-milk powder until the powder is dissolved.
  8. Add 10 oz chopped milk chocolate chunks and stir over low heat until melted and smooth.
  9. Scrape the chocolate mixture into a medium metal bowl.
  10. Set the bowl into a larger bowl filled with ice water and stir continuously for 10 minutes, or until the mixture begins to mound slightly, resembling the consistency of unbeaten egg whites.
  11. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup plus 6 tbsp cold heavy cream and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks form.
  12. Stir one-third of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
  13. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
  14. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  15. For the glaze, microwave 2 tbsp heavy cream and 1/2 tsp light corn syrup in a glass measure until boiling (about 20 seconds) or heat in a saucepan.
  16. Add 1 oz finely chopped bittersweet chocolate and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract; let stand 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
  17. Pipe or spread the glaze over the chilled pie filling.
  18. Refrigerate the pie for 6 hours or overnight until the filling is set, covering loosely with plastic after the first 2 hours.
  19. For the white chocolate cream, microwave 1/2 cup heavy cream until boiling.
  20. Add 2 oz finely chopped white chocolate; let stand 1 minute, then stir until melted and smooth.
  21. Chill the white chocolate mixture for about 2 hours until cool.
  22. Beat the chilled white chocolate mixture at high speed until soft peaks form.
  23. Dollop the white chocolate cream in the center of the pie.
  24. Garnish with semi-sweet chocolate shavings or curls and refrigerate until ready to serve.
