Nutella Pie - chocolate cookie crust

Method

• In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and 3/4 cup powdered sugar using electric beaters, about one minute. Add 3/4 cup Nutella and beat until fluffy, about three minutes. Don't stop once it's just combined - three minutes adds air, making it nice and fluffy. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks have formed - this takes about 3-4 minutes.
• Starting with 1/3 of the whipped cream mixture, fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Once it's combined, add the remaining whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture, folding gently until thoroughly mixed.
• Pour the mixture into a 9 inch cookie crust. Freeze 4 hours or until firm. When ready to serve, let the pie sit out 20 minutes to soften.
• Top with additional whipped cream, chopped nuts, or simply a drizzle of hot fudge. Be sure to save a piece for yourself, it will go fast!
