How to make Chocolate Truffle Pie:
- Truffle filling: Start with the chocolate truffle filling, the bottom layer: In a saucepan, bring 2/3 cup of cream to a simmer. Place 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate chips into a medium size bowl and pour hot cream over the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then gently whisk until smooth. Spread the truffle filling over the bottom of the oreo cookie pie crust. Freeze for 20 minutes.
- Whipped filling: Next work on the -whipped chocolate filling (the middle layer). Using a double boiler (or microwave set on low power), heat the 6 ounces of chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of whipping cream until the chocolate is just melted, stirring often. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. In a chilled bowl, whip the chocolate mixture with 1 cup of whipping cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped chocolate over the truffle filling in the pie crust. Refrigerate over night.
- Whipped cream: Just before serving, whip 1 cup of cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie.

How to avoid lumps in your chocolate pie:
Honestly the best way to avoid lumps in your pie is by whisking them out. If you start to notice your filling getting lumpy, beat it really well until they slowly start to disappear.
