Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Heavy cream, divided
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Use the back of a measuring cup to press it firmly in place. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, then whip until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream in batches, making sure to mix just until combined to maintain a light and airy texture. This creates the chocolate mousse filling.
Remove the prepared crust from the refrigerator and spoon the chocolate mousse filling into the crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks and use it to decorate the top of the pie. Add optional chocolate shavings for garnish.
Slice and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
