Ingredients
Chocolate cookie pie crust
1 (ready-made, 6 ounces)
Heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup, divided (measured, divided)
Milk chocolate candy bars
4 (1 5/8 ounces each, chopped)
Cream cheese
1 (8 ounces, softened)
Light brown sugar
1/4 cup (packed)
Vanilla extract
1 tablespoon (measured)
Chocolate-covered toffee bits
1 cup, divided (measured, divided)
Cool Whip
2 cups (frozen topping, thawed)
Instructions
1
Begin by placing the chopped milk chocolate candy bars in a small bowl and set aside for later use.
2
In a microwave-safe dish, heat 1/2 cup of the heavy whipping cream on HIGH for about 1-1/2 minutes until hot. Slowly pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes, allowing the chocolate to melt. After 5 minutes, stir the mixture until it is completely smooth and glossy.
3
In a separate medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the packed light brown sugar and the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4
Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture and gently mix in the melted chocolate until thoroughly blended. Be careful not to overbeat; the mixture should remain light and airy.
5
Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate-covered toffee bits into the chocolate mixture, incorporating them evenly.
6
Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared chocolate cookie pie crust, spreading it evenly.
7
Carefully spoon the thawed Cool Whip over the top of the filling, smoothing it out for a nice finish. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate-covered toffee bits on top for additional crunch and flavor.
8
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set before serving.
