  • Grind chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl and mix in melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill crust while you make the pie filling.
  • Melt chocolate in a small heatproof bowl in the microwave. Start with 1 minute, stir, and then return for 15 to 30 second increments until melted. Let fully cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
  • Whip butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract and instant coffee. Add the cooled chocolate and mix until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, whisking on medium speed for 5 minutes and scraping down the bowl after each addition. The pie filling should be fluffy and silky like chocolate mousse.
  • Transfer filling into the pie crust, cover, and chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  • Beat heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla on medium speed with a handheld mixer until soft peaks form.
  • Top the French silk pie with the whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
