Ingredients
  

Crust Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients (Optional)
  • 1/2 cup Whipped cream
  • 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Medium bowl
  • Saucepan
  • Electric Mixer
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
  2. Stir in melted butter until evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and chopped chocolate. Stir constantly until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the chocolate cream filling into the cooled crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set.
  8. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. You can also add a pinch of salt to the crust or filling to enhance the flavors.
