Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Bittersweet chocolate
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 units Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing 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 sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Step 4

Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring 1 cup of heavy cream to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.

Step 7

Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg yolks with powdered sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Slowly fold the egg yolk mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 9

In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the volume.

Step 11

Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Before serving, garnish with dark chocolate shavings, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
