Directions:
For the Crust:
In a food processor, add sugar, flour, and salt. Pulse until well mixed.
Add cold water and shortening, then pulse again until well combined.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, then form it into a ball.
Wrap the dough with plastic, then place it inside the fridge to chill for an hour or overnight.
Prepare the oven and preheat to 225 degrees C or 450 degrees F.
Place the dough into a 9-inch round pie plate, then pinch the sides to make the crust.
Use a fork to prick the top of the prepared crust.
Place it inside the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until brown.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
For the Whipped Cream Filling:
Add ¾ cup of the whipping cream into a stand mixer, then whip until it forms stiff peaks.
Move it inside an airtight container, then place it inside the fridge to chill.
For the Whipped Topping:
In the same stand mixer, add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 ¼ cups of whipping cream. Beat until well mixed until it forms soft peaks.
Place it inside a piping bag, then place it inside the fridge to chill.
For the Chocolate Filling:
Place the chocolate inside the microwave and heat it until melted completely. Allow it to cool.
In a mixing bowl, add the butter-sugar, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Beat until well mixed.
Add the melted chocolate and beat until well blended.
Add the eggs gradually and beat every addition until well mixed.
Add ¾ cup of whipping cream and beat until well mixed.
To Assemble the Pie:
