If you love chocolate like I do, you should try making this at least once. I found this recipe on google long time ago and I've changed the recipe a little bit to my liking, since my little family likes rich dark chocolate I usually cut the sugar in half and I added more chocolate. Even my 11 month old daughter can't get enough of this pie, it's that good! Its between a brownie and dark chocolate custard or pudding.. Hope you like it as much as we do.  I know the picture doesn't do this pie justice but trust me it is really good!

Double Chocolate Chess Pie

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

Chocolate Graham Crust:

1 bag of chocolate graham crackers or honey graham crackers and add1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder

½  c (1 stick) of melted unsalted butter

3 tbsp sugar

In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until finely ground. Add sugar and cocoa powder. Give it another pulse, add melted butter until combined. Press into a 9-in pie dish with the back of a spoon or your hands. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. Bake in a preheated 325 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 12-15 minutes. Cool crust. Set aside.

Filling:

½ c (1 stick)  unsalted butter
4 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder (I like to use half dark and reg. cocoa powder)
1 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1-1/2 c of chocolate chips

I have tried it with chocolate chips and crushed toffee, or you could add some peanut butter chips instead or something with caramel or mint chocolate, the possibilities are endless.

Melt the butter. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. In a medium size bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Slowly whisk in the melted butter chocolate mixture. When the crust has cooled pour the filling into the crust and bake in preheated 325 degrees F oven for about 30-40 minutes or until the top is set. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream or both.
