Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
• 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar (for filling)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 3 cups whole milk
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.25 cups dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt for the filling.

Step 6

Gradually add the milk to the saucepan, whisking to combine, and place over medium heat.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a ladle of the warm milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.

Step 8

Return the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.

Step 10

Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 11

Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 12

To make the whipped cream topping, beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar with a hand or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 13

Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the chilled chocolate filling.

Step 14

Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
