Preparation Steps
- Add the melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs and mix well until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, starting from the center and working outwards to form an even crust.
- Heat the chopped chocolate in microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, combine hot water, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the hot water mixture into the cooled chocolate and stir until ganache-like in consistency.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until it starts to thicken.
- Gradually add confectioners' sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate ganache until well combined. Chill the remaining whipped cream for topping.
- Spread the chocolate mixture over the prepared crust.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until set. Top with remaining whipped cream and chocolate curls before serving.
Notes
This pie is best served chilled and decorated with chocolate curls for an elegant finish.
