Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups 2% milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Additional chocolate chips and graham crackers, optional
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Combine the graham crackers, butter, and brown sugar in a bowl. Mix until it forms a crumbly mixture. Press this mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, and milk until the mixture is smooth. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken. This will take around 5-7 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour this mixture into the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set.
In a small bowl, beat the whipping cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread this mixture over the cooled pie. You can also garnish the top with additional chocolate chips and graham crackers, if desired. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
