Description
There’s nothing more tempting than thick, chocolate satisfaction with a smooth, luxurious texture over an Amaretti cookie pie crust. Rich, velvety dark and milk chocolate are blended with smooth butter solidified by cream creates a moist chocolate filling. Cutting the butter into small chunks and adding slowly makes a glossy ganache. Unlike a normal pie crust, the crumbled Amaretti cookies are slightly bitter and have a drier texture, balancing the sweetness of the chocolate.

This is literally like tasting heaven. I made my crust a little thicker and doubled the biscuits. I froze mine to set, needless to say- there were no leftovers.
