Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
Mix crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes and let it cool completely.
Make the Chocolate Filling
In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Slowly whisk in ½ cup of the warm milk mixture to temper the eggs.
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly until thickened (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat, then stir in chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Assemble and Chill
Pour the warm filling into the cooled crust.
Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap (directly touching the surface), and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Make the Whipped Cream
Beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Finish and Serve
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Slice and enjoy!
