Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (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, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it tightly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil). Remove from heat.

Step 6

Add the chocolate chips to the hot cream and let sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.

Step 7

Stir the cream and melted chocolate until smooth and glossy. If the mixture is not fully melting, place it back on low heat for a few seconds while stirring constantly.

Step 8

Stir in the amaretto liqueur and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm.

Step 11

Before serving, optionally top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled for a decadent treat!
