Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (crushed) Chocolate graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao), finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 0.5 cup Whipping cream for garnish (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press down evenly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream over medium heat until just simmering. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped bittersweet chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 0.5 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream gently into the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined.
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Slice and serve chilled for a rich, nut-free chocolate delight.
