• 170 g Dark chocolate (chopped)
• 85 g Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 3 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 480 ml Whole milk
• 180 ml Heavy cream
• 3 Large eggs (room temperature)
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 120 g Milk chocolate (chopped, for ganache)
• 120 ml Heavy cream (for ganache)
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add in milk and cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 7

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 8-10 minutes).

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, then gradually temper them by adding a few spoonfuls of the hot chocolate mixture into the eggs while stirring.

Step 10

Return the tempered eggs to the saucepan and cook over low heat for 2-3 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens further.

Step 11

Pour the custard into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 12

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

Step 13

To make the ganache, heat 120 ml of cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer, then pour it over the chopped milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl.

Step 14

Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 15

Spread the ganache evenly over the chilled pie and refrigerate again for 1 hour, or until the ganache is set.

Step 16

Serve the pie with optional whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish.
