Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.25 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and can hold their shape when pressed.

Step 3

Press the 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. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of heavy cream. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and let the chocolate mixture cool slightly, then pour it into the cooled crust. Spread it evenly to fill the pie shell. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream and powdered sugar using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 8

Spread the whipped cream over the chilled chocolate filling, or pipe it decoratively if desired.

Step 9

Slice the pie into 8 pieces and serve chilled. Refrigerate any leftovers.
