Valentine's Day Chocolate Pie
2 bars (about 3 1/2 oz each) extra-dark chocolate (65% cacao), broken up
2 tubs (8 oz each) mascarpone (soft Italian cheese), at room temperature
One 6-oz ready-to-fill Oreo pie crust (reserve plastic lid)
Garnish: whipped cream and chocolate curls (optional)
1. Microwave chocolate in a small bowl on high, stirring every 10 to 15 seconds, until melted and smooth.
2. Put mascarpone into a large bowl; stir in chocolate until no white streaks remain. Spoon into pie crust; spread evenly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm, or cover with lid and refrigerate overnight.
3. If refrigerated overnight, let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving so that it softens slightly. Garnish with whipped cream and choc curls, if desired.
