Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
- 2.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides firmly to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a medium heatproof bowl, add the chopped dark chocolate. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not let it boil).
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Then stir until smooth and glossy. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, then mix well.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set.
In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1.5 cups of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the cream mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly on top of the chilled pie.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy and decadent Chocolate Whipped Cream Pie!
