Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate, going up the sides about 1 inch.
- Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.
- Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Serve chilled, garnished with additional whipped cream or chocolate shavings, if desired.
