Ingredients

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST
6 tablespoons butter melted
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
CHOCOLATE PIE FILLING
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup corn starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
4 large eggs yolks, beaten

How To Make chocolate cream pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick baking spray.

Step 2

Combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Press into prepared pie plate. Bake for 7-8 minutes.
Step 3

In a large 2.5 quart saucepan, whisk together sugar, corn starch, and salt. Whisk in milk, 1 cup of cream, chocolate chips, and chocolate. Place over medium-low heat and cook to a low boil; whisking constantly. Boil for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 4

Whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, a few tablespoons at a time. Place the pot back over medium-low heat. Slowly whisk the warmed egg mixture into the pie filling. Bring it back to a low boil for 1-2 minutes: whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour into the graham cracker crust. Place a piece of plastic wrap right on top of the pie filling to keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate overnight or for up to 24 hours.
Step 5

Before serving, beat 1 cup whipping cream and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe onto the pie. Using a vegetable peeler, garnish with mini chocolate shavings.
