Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups whipped cream (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup to compact the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1.5 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until no lumps remain. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly drizzle a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper them.
Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chocolate mixture. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and let the filling cool for 10 minutes.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Deluxe Chocolate Pie!
