Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 Egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Whipped cream, for topping
• 0.25 cups Chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine 1.5 cups of heavy cream, whole milk, cornstarch, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking to temper them.

Step 7

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the filling thickens.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract until fully melted and smooth.

Step 9

Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly. Let cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 10

Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or curls, if desired.

Step 11

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your velvety chocolate cream pie!
