Ingredients
Scale
1 (9-inch) Graham Cracker Crust
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/4 cup Cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon Salt
3 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream (for topping)
2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (for topping, optional)
Chocolate Shavings (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your crust by unwrapping a pre-made graham cracker crust or pressing a homemade graham cracker crust into a pie plate and chilling
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until no lumps remai
- Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a full boil
- Remove from heat and stir in the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the filling. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set
- Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar (if using) until stiff peaks form. Spread over the chilled pie and garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired
Notes
For best results, chill the pie overnight for optimal texture.
Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
Feel free to customize the pie with different types of chocolates or crusts.
