Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until slightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In another bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in batches until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the filling is firm and set.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired.
Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy!
