Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 5 large Egg yolks
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 6 ounces Semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cups Chocolate shavings or curls (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk the egg yolks, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and cornstarch together until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly.

Step 7

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 6–8 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate, 2 tablespoons of butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 10

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

Step 11

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.

Step 12

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.

Step 13

Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls if desired.

Step 14

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Ultimate Chocolate Cream Pie!
