Ingredients

• 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 500 milliliters Whole milk
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream
• 4 Egg yolks
• 100 grams Granulated sugar (for custard)
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 50 grams Chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to compact the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, 100 grams of granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble (about 6–8 minutes).

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the custard into the cooled pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 8

Just before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled custard.

Step 9

Top with chocolate shavings or other decorations, if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
