1 1/4 teaspoons Durkee Ground Cinnamon, divided use
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

Chill chocolate mixture in an ice water bath, stirring frequently until chocolate is cooled to room temperature.

Beat remaining 1 cup whipping cream on high speed of electric mixer, gradually adding powdered sugar, until soft peaks form. Stir in 1/3 of the whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream; spoon into crust.
