Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 pieces large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 0.25 cup chocolate shavings (optional, for decoration)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden and set. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a light boil.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks while whisking constantly to temper them. Once tempered, pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan and whisk thoroughly.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 8

Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream, if desired, and garnish with chocolate shavings.
