Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups low sodium graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 units large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipping cream (for topping, optional)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, crush the low sodium graham crackers into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or a food processor.

Step 3

Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and mix it with the graham cracker crumbs and cocoa powder. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until it is lightly browned. Remove and let it cool completely.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is light and well combined.

Step 8

Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and slowly whisk it into the sugar and egg mixture until well blended and smooth.

Step 9

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the chocolate mixture along with the vanilla extract.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

Before serving, optionally whip the whipping cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form and top the pie. Serve and enjoy the low sodium rich chocolate pie!
