Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips (at least 60% cacao)
- 1.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then pour it into the crumb mixture. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to create an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove and let cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to gently simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the cream from heat and stir in the dark chocolate chips. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and shiny.
Stir in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until fully incorporated.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, spread whipped cream over the pie or pipe it decoratively around the edges.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich and creamy Chocolate Dream Pie!
