Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups whipped cream, for topping
- 0.25 cups chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, forming an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the milk until the dry ingredients are fully dissolved. Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture into the yolks to temper them, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
Continue to cook the pudding mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the hot pudding into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent skin from forming. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings, if desired.
Slice and serve cold. Enjoy your Heavenly Chocolate Pudding Pie!
