Description
A nostalgic dessert that combines a crunchy crust with a rich chocolate filling and fluffy whipped cream, perfect for cold evenings and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz high-quality semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 large eggs
- Optional: Coconut cream for a vegan option
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush your chosen cookies until fine. Mix with melted butter and a pinch of sugar. Press into a pie dish and chill.
- Make the Chocolate Filling: Melt chocolate over a double boiler or microwave. Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form, and mix a portion into melted chocolate. Add sugar and eggs, blending until smooth. Fold in remaining whipped cream gently.
- Combine and Chill: Pour chocolate filling into the crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Serve: Top with remaining whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.
Notes
Patience is key; let the pie chill thoroughly for the best flavor and texture. Avoid rushing the process to prevent a soupy center.
