For the Truffle Filling:

Next work on the -whipped chocolate filling (the middle layer). Using a double boiler (or microwave set on low power), heat the 6 ounces of chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of whipping cream until the chocolate is just melted, stirring often. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. In a chilled bowl, whip the chocolate mixture with 1 cup of whipping cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped chocolate over the truffle filling in the pie crust. Refrigerate over night.
For the Whipped Cream:
-
Just before serving, whip 1 cup of cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie.

Garnish with milk chocolate shavings: Using a vegetable peeler, create chocolate curls to garnish the top of the pie.

Serve immediately with the whipped cream top layer.
