The rich, authentic taste comes from quality ingredients and a few simple techniques, not complicated steps.

I remember when I first tried making this Triple Chocolate Pie. The challenge was creating a dessert that satisfied everyone’s different chocolate preferences. Some liked dark chocolate, some milk, and some white chocolate. This recipe did the trick!

My family’s reaction to the first bite was pure joy. They raved about the perfect balance of flavors, the creamy texture, and the overall richness of the Triple Chocolate Pie. That’s when I knew this recipe was a keeper, destined to become a family favorite.

Ingredients needed to make triple chocolate pie

1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs: For the best flavor in your Triple Chocolate Pie, I recommend using chocolate cookies that you love.
5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted: Use a good quality butter. It makes a difference in the crust.
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips: I prefer semi-sweet for a balanced sweetness, but feel free to use your favorite dark chocolate.
1 cup heavy cream: You’ll find the freshest ingredients for this Triple Chocolate Pie at your local grocery store.
4 large egg yolks: These add richness and stability to the filling.
¼ cup granulated sugar: Just a touch of sugar to balance the chocolate.
1 tsp vanilla extract: Adds a lovely aroma and enhances the chocolate flavor.
Pinch of salt: Balances the sweetness and brings out the chocolate flavor.
6 ounces white chocolate, chopped: Adds a layer of creamy sweetness.

Let’s Create This Together!

Ready to create this amazing Triple Chocolate Pie? Follow these step-by-step instructions!

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
Bake the Crust: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Here’s where I used to miss a key step with my Triple Chocolate Pie – learn from my experience!
Make the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Layer: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals), melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with ½ cup of heavy cream. Stir until smooth.
Add Egg Yolks and Sugar: Remove from heat and whisk in the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour and Chill: Pour the semi-sweet chocolate mixture over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Perfect time to appreciate the aromatic transformation!
Make the White Chocolate Layer: In a clean heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate with ¼ cup of heavy cream. Stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly. Don’t be surprised if your Triple Chocolate Pie develops a slight sheen as it cools.
Pour and Chill Again: Pour the white chocolate mixture over the semi-sweet chocolate layer. Return to the refrigerator for another 2 hours. While your Triple Chocolate Pie is developing these flavors, take a moment to appreciate creating something special for your family!
Make the Milk Chocolate Layer: In another clean heatproof bowl, melt the milk chocolate with the remaining ¼ cup of heavy cream. Stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly. Your Triple Chocolate Pie should fill the kitchen with amazing aromas by now.
Final Layer and Chill: Pour the milk chocolate mixture over the white chocolate layer. Refrigerate for a final 2 hours, or until the pie is completely set. In my kitchen, this flavorful **Triple Chocolate Pie** typically takes about 6-8 hours to fully set.
Garnish and Serve: Once the pie is set, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and fresh berries, if desired. Slice and serve!

How We Love to Enjoy This!

The family gathers quickly when this aromatic Triple Chocolate Pie appears with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

We often pair this Triple Chocolate Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh berries. The cool creaminess of the ice cream and the tartness of the berries complement the rich chocolate flavors perfectly. This Triple Chocolate Pie reminds me of another family favorite, Mississippi Mud Pie with a Creamy Chocolate Filling, which is also rich and decadent.

This Triple Chocolate Pie is perfect for those evenings when we want something truly satisfying! It’s also a hit at birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and potlucks. I have a good friend, Jillian, who creates so many chocolate recipes and I think she would adore this recipe for Triple Chocolate Cream Pie – A baJillian Recipes. I recently made this for an anniversary dinner with the family, and everyone raved about it. The layers of chocolate create a beautiful presentation, showcasing the authentic flavors inside.

For a festive touch, I sometimes add a sprinkle of edible gold dust to the top of the pie. It adds a touch of elegance and makes it perfect for special occasions. If you have leftover Triple Chocolate Pie (which is rare in my house!), you can cut it into squares and freeze them for a quick and easy dessert later.

Sometimes I like to add a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the flavor!

Does this Triple Chocolate Pie really satisfy hearty appetites? Absolutely! The combination of three different chocolates and a rich, creamy filling makes it incredibly satisfying.
