Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup malted milk powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate malt balls (optional garnish)
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the 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 the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and immediately pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Let the chocolate and cream mixture sit for 2–3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Stir the malted milk powder into the chocolate mixture, followed by the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, fold in the powdered sugar until smooth and slightly thickened.
Pour the chocolate malt filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until the filling is set.
Optional: Before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle mini chocolate malt balls on top for an extra touch of decadence.
Slice, serve, and enjoy the nostalgic flavors of this Chocolate Malted Shoppe Pie!
