Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Whipped cream, for serving
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form an even crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to compact the crust if necessary.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, salt, and chocolate chips. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and then gradually whisk in the beaten eggs until fully incorporated.
Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared and cooled crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the pie is slightly puffy and just set around the edges but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Serve slices of chocolate pie topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
