Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups almonds, toasted and chopped
- 1 cup candy bars (e.g., Snickers or similar), chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely.
Place the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it's just about to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth to create a ganache.
Stir in the vanilla extract into the ganache.
Spread a thin layer of ganache on the bottom of the cooled crust. Sprinkle half of the chopped toasted almonds and candy bar pieces over this layer.
Pour the remaining ganache over the almond and candy bar layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining chopped almonds and candy bar pieces evenly over the top.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
Before serving, pipe or dollop whipped cream onto the pie. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or curls.
Slice and enjoy this indulgent treat!
