Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree
• 6 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 piece Pre-made graham cracker pie crust (9-inch)
• 1 Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the pumpkin mixture until the filling is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 8

Slice the pie and serve with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired. Enjoy!
