Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 envelope Unflavored gelatin
• 0.25 cups Cold water
• 1 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate with the milk over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and frothy.

Step 7

Slowly whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Heat the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin completely dissolves.

Step 10

Stir the gelatin mixture into the chocolate mixture and mix well. Let this cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.

Step 12

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and no streaks remain.

Step 13

Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 14

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 15

Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
