Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

Melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Add the melted chocolate to the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until well combined.

Step 8

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix for at least 3-4 minutes per egg to ensure a silky texture. Add the vanilla extract and beat for an additional minute.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.

Step 10

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

Step 11

Spread the whipped cream over the chocolate filling, creating an even layer. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
