Description
A luxurious Chocolate Pudding Pie with a crisp graham cracker crust and creamy chocolate filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for pudding)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until combined. Press mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups milk, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth. Heat over medium, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble (about 6–8 minutes).
- Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the pudding is glossy and smooth. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Pour the warm chocolate pudding into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
