Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture has the texture of wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to pack it down evenly.
Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
In a medium saucepan set over low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes.
Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm.
Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with freshly whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled.
