Preheat an oven to 350°F.

Fold in whipped topping and grated chocolate.

Step 6

Pour into cooled pie crust and cover tightly.

Step 7

Freeze at least 8 hours, or overnight. Remove from freezer about an hour or so before serving.

Step 8

Spread 1 cup of whipped topping over the pie, then drizzle with chocolate ganache.

Step 9

Add 6 ounces finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. Top with 6 ounces heavy whipping cream.

Microwave 1 minute.

Step 11

Let stand in the microwave for 5 minutes.
