Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (for caramel)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for caramel)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream (for ganache)
• 0.5 teaspoon Coarse sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the bottom of a cup to help compact it evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until it turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

To make the caramel layer, add 1 cup of granulated sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color.

Step 6

Carefully add 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the melted sugar (it will bubble). Stir until fully combined.

Step 7

Slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy cream while stirring constantly. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the caramel from the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Let it cool for a few minutes, then pour it into the prepared crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set.

Step 9

While the caramel sets, make the chocolate ganache. Heat 3/4 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.

Step 10

Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 11

Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the set caramel layer in the pie. Smooth it out with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 12

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is firm.

Step 13

When ready to serve, optionally sprinkle coarse sea salt over the top for a beautiful and flavorful garnish. Slice and enjoy!
