Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
- Make the crust: Add the chocolate sandwich cookies and granulated sugar to a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse 4 times, or until the crumbs are moistened.
- Press the crust mixture evenly against the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, leaving ½ inch of space from the top of the pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust begins to puff slightly. Remove from the oven and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 25-30 minutes.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the hot water, cocoa powder, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a medium, microwavable-safe bowl, combine the chopped Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bars and ¼ cup of heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, 1 minute total. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the cocoa mixture to the bowl of melted chocolate and whisk to combine.
- In a large bowl, whip the remaining 2¾ cups of heavy cream with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 minutes. Transfer 1⅓ cups of whipped cream to a separate bowl and set aside.
- Add the granulated sugar and salt to the bowl with the remaining whipped cream and whip on low speed for 30 seconds, until fully combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate mixture, ⅓ at a time, until incorporated and smooth. With the hand mixer, beat once more for 30 seconds to stiffen.
- Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the filling evenly on top. Freeze for 1 hour, until the filling is firm.
- Meanwhile, add the powdered sugar to the reserved whipped cream and whip on low speed until smooth, 1 minute. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Remove the pie from the freezer and pipe 10 dollops of whipped cream around the edges. Place a square of Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bar on each of the whipped cream dollops.
- Cut the pie into 6-8 slices and use a vegetable peeler to shave curls of the remaining Godiva® Signature Collection Dark Chocolate Mini Bar on top of each slice.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Heat milk until it just begins to bubble around the edges in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat (do not boil). Remove from heat, and whisk in chocolate morsels until melted. Cool slightly.
- 2. Stir together cold water and cornstarch until dissolved.
- 3. Whisk cornstarch mixture, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla into chocolate mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil 1 minute or until mixture thickens and is smooth. (Do not overcook.) ***Should be the consistency of thick pudding.
- 4. Remove from heat, and whisk in 3 tablespoons of butter. Spoon mixture into pie crust. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
- 5. To toast pecans, heat oven to 350 deg., melt 2 tablespoons butter, place pecans on a parchment lined baking sheet, drizzle the melted butter over the pecans (stir them up a little to coat), place in oven for 5 minutes. Cool completely before using.
- 6. For the whipped cream: It helps if you use a metal bowl and the equipment is cold -- put the beaters and bowl in the freezer before using. Beat whipping cream at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy; gradually add sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream evenly over pie filling, and sprinkle with toasted pecans and candy bar pieces.
Tips:
- To ensure a creamy and smooth texture, use good quality chocolate and heavy cream. Opt for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% for a rich flavor.
- Bring the cream to a simmer, not a boil, to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped or grated before adding it to the cream. This helps it melt evenly and quickly.
- Stir the chocolate and cream mixture constantly until it is smooth and glossy. Avoid over-stirring, as this can cause the chocolate to seize.
- If the chocolate mixture starts to seize, remove it from the heat and stir vigorously until it smooths out. Alternatively, you can add a small amount of warm cream.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the whipped cream. This helps prevent the whipped cream from melting.
- Use a whisk or electric mixer to whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This ensures that the pie has a light and airy texture.
- Layer the pie in a graham cracker crust. This provides a sturdy base for the pie and adds a delicious crunchy texture.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
- Garnish the pie with grated chocolate, whipped cream, or fresh berries before serving.
