Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom and up the sides.

Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, 1.25 cups of heavy cream, and 1.25 cups of whole milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the chocolate melts.

Step 6

In a bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, and the egg yolks until smooth and pale yellow.

Step 7

Slowly pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes).

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Step 10

Pour the warm chocolate filling into the baked pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 11

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
