Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 ounces Unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 units Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and can be pressed together.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press it firmly and evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped unsweetened chocolate until smooth, stirring frequently. Once melted, remove from heat and cool slightly.

Step 6

In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and 1/2 cup sugar until pale and slightly thickened.

Step 8

Slowly pour the warm cream and milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 9

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 10

Stir the melted chocolate into the thickened cream mixture until smooth and well combined.

Step 11

Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Step 12

Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 13

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

Step 14

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

Step 15

Slice and enjoy your thick chocolate pie!
