- Remove from the oven and place aside to cool.
- In the meantime, make the filling. Chop the chocolate and melt in the microwave or stovetop.

- Fold in the melted chocolate.
- Beat the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the heavy cream gradually into the chocolate mixture.

Tips & Tricks
You can make this pie up to two days ahead and it will be as good as freshly made. Just sprinkle the cocoa pattern before serving to get a clean pattern. If you’re considering substituting erythritol in the filling for stevia, it may negatively impact the taste of this pie. Consider substituting only a half of the erythritol with stevia instead for delicate sweetness.
