1 10 inch prepared plain or chocolate premade graham cracker crust (Larger than standard crust)
1 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding
1 cup heavy cream
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 15 oz can pureed pumpkin
3 large eggs
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp pure vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup toffee bits
Ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 8 oz frozen whipped topping thawed for serving (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place pie crust on a baking sheet. Set aside.
To make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, whip together pudding mix, heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk for 2 minutes or until it begins to thicken.
Add pumpkin, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt. Whip together for another 1-2 minutes until fully combined.
Sprinkle chocolate chips and toffee bits into the bottom of the pie crust. Pour filling over the chips
Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F, then increase the oven temperature to 375°F degrees. Continue to bake another 20 minutes or until the center is set when gently shaken.
Remove from the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.
To make the Ganache: Melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips together with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in the microwave until the chocolate is completely melted. Repeat in 20 second increments, stopping to stir each time.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, stirring until smooth.
Frost the top of pie with ganache. Let stand at room temperature until set, or chill. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve leftovers chilled.

The custard filling makes enough for two pies.
My favorite way to serve this pie, is to allow the pie to cool to room temperature, spread the top with the warm ganache, and then serve it while the chocolate is soft and gooey...yum!
