  3. Gently fold in the melted chocolate until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.

Cover the pie with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Do not freeze; mascarpone can change texture if frozen and thawed.
