Ingredients

For the graham cracker crust: 2 packages of graham crackers, 1/2 cup butter ( melted ), and 4 tablespoons of sugar. For the custard layer: 2 cups of milk, 2 egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons of corn starch, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. For the chocolate frosting: 1/2 cup butter ( softened ), 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. For the topping: 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Instructions

To make the graham cracker crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch round baking dish with butter or cooking spray. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they are a fine crumb. Transfer the crumbs to a medium-sized bowl and add the melted butter and sugar. Mix until combined. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before adding the custard layer.

To make the custard layer, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the custard into the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the custard is set. Allow to cool completely before spreading the chocolate frosting over the top.

To make the chocolate frosting, beat the softened butter in a medium-sized bowl until light and fluffy. Add the chocolate chips and cream and beat until combined. Next, add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt and beat until combined. Spread the frosting over the cooled custard layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

To make the topping, beat the cream in a medium-sized bowl until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled chocolate frosting. Sprinkle the top with shaved chocolate and serve.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, you can substitute gluten-free graham crackers for the regular ones. You can also make this recipe dairy-free by substituting non-dairy milk for the regular milk and vegan butter for the regular butter in the custard layer. For an even richer flavor, you can use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet ones in the frosting.
