Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for ganache)
• 0.5 teaspoons Flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, heavy cream, and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and reaches a caramel consistency, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Pour the caramel filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread evenly and allow to cool for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 6

In a heatproof bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm 1/2 cup of heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth to create the ganache.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the ganache layer before serving for a delightful contrast of flavors.

Step 9

Slice and serve the pie chilled. Enjoy your Ft Knox Pie!
