Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 8 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Orange zest
- 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings
- optional Orange slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it out evenly to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, but do not boil.
Pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the orange zest and fresh orange juice. Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour it into the prepared crust. Spread it evenly and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the whipped cream gently until fully incorporated.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate layer in the pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Garnish the pie with chocolate shavings and orange slices, if desired.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to fully set before serving.
Slice and enjoy your rich and citrusy Orange Chocolate Pie!
