For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage. If you don't have a prepared graham cracker crust, you can easily make your own using graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur (such as coffee liqueur or dark rum) to the chocolate custard after it has been removed from the heat. Garnish with chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, gelatin, and salt. Gradually whisk in the whole milk until smooth. (2 minutes)
02
StepCook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract until slightly pale. (1 minute)
04
StepTemper the egg yolks by slowly drizzling a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. (2 minutes)
05
StepPour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens further and is very smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Do not boil.
06
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate until completely melted and the custard is glossy and homogenous. (2 minutes)
07
StepPour the chocolate custard into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it gently onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. (2 minutes)
08
StepChill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custard to set completely.
09
StepTo make the topping, combine the heavy whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl.
10
StepBeat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat. (3 minutes)
11
StepOnce the pie is chilled, garnish with the whipped cream. For an elegant presentation, pipe the whipped cream onto the pie using a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip.
