Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons almond extract
- 0.5 cups sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 cups whipped cream, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, almond flour, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until evenly combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat over a double boiler on low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the almond extract. Let cool for 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the top of the pie with toasted sliced almonds.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set completely.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Chocolate Almond Pie II!
