Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for whipping cream)
- Optional: coffee powder, chocolate shavings for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until sandy.
- Press mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
- In a double boiler, melt chocolate and butter until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
- Pour filling into the cooled crust and bake until just set but still wobbly, about 25-30 minutes. Let it cool.
- In a bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar (and coffee powder if using) until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream over cooled pie.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Notes
This pie tastes better the next day. Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 2 days or frozen without whipped cream for longer storage.
