Classic Chocolate Cream Pie

Here’s how to whip up a Classic Chocolate Cream Pie that’ll have everyone begging for seconds. No fluff, just the good stuff.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (I like mine extra fine for that perfect crust texture)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (go for the good stuff, it makes a difference)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (just enough to sweeten the deal)
- 2 cups whole milk (the richer, the better for that creamy filling)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (yes, more sugar, but trust me)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (the secret to a thick, luscious filling)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (a pinch to balance the sweetness)
- 3 large egg yolks (room temp eggs blend smoother)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (because more butter is always better)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure vanilla for that deep flavor)
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I prefer Ghirardelli for that melt-in-your-mouth quality)
- 1 cup heavy cream (chilled, for the whipped topping)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for sweetening the cream just right)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. This is the perfect temp to get that crust golden without burning.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until it feels like wet sand. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely. Tip: Use the bottom of a glass to press the crust evenly.
- In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Keep stirring to avoid lumps.
- Beat egg yolks in a bowl, then slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper. Pour back into the saucepan, cook for 2 more minutes until thick.
- Remove from heat, stir in butter, vanilla, and chocolate chips until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust. Chill for 4 hours. Tip: Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the chilled pie. Tip: For extra flair, use a piping bag to decorate the top.

- 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust (because time is precious)
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped (go for 70% cacao for depth)
