Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the filling:
- 8 oz (1 package) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the topping (optional):
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Press it into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, covering the base and slightly up the sides. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Make the chocolate filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
- Whip the cream cheese mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined. Slowly add the cooled melted chocolate, mixing until smooth.
- Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set and firm up.
- Serve: Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or chocolate chips, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a different crust, you can swap the graham cracker crust for an Oreo crust or even a store-bought pre-made pie crust.
- To ensure the filling has a smooth texture, make sure the melted chocolate isn’t too hot when mixing it into the cream cheese mixture.
- For an added twist, consider adding a layer of caramel or peanut butter under the chocolate filling.
