Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons shaved chocolate or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to pack it tightly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream in batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Combine until the filling is smooth and uniform in color.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chocolate filling as a topping.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish the pie with shaved chocolate or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set fully.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Ice Box Pie!
