Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 cup whipped cream (for topping, optional)
• 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the bottom of a flat glass or measuring cup to pack it down tightly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove it and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the heavy cream until it begins to steam but does not boil. Remove it from the heat and pour it over the dark chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl.

Step 6

Let the chocolate and cream sit for 3-4 minutes, then whisk together until smooth and glossy to create a ganache.

Step 7

Peel and thinly slice the bananas. Arrange a layer of banana slices on the cooled graham cracker crust.

Step 8

Pour half of the chocolate ganache over the bananas, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula. Add another layer of banana slices, then pour the remaining ganache on top, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate filling is firm and set.

Step 10

Before serving, optionally top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Step 11

Slice and serve chilled.
