Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3.9 ounces Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2.5 cups Cold whole milk
- 1 cup Whipped topping or whipped cream (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (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 crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust, covering the bottom and slightly up the sides.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream using a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let this chocolate ganache cool slightly, then spread it evenly over the cooled crust. Place in the fridge to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Spread this layer evenly over the chilled chocolate ganache layer.
In another bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until thickened. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pie with whipped topping or whipped cream, spreading it evenly over the pudding layer.
Garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your luscious Chocolate Layer Pie!
