Pour the chocolate custard filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
4. Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the set chocolate custard.
Garnish with shaved chocolate or chocolate shavings, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled.
Tips:
Tempering the Eggs: To prevent the egg yolks from curdling, be sure to gradually add hot liquid to the yolks while whisking continuously.
Cooling: Allow the custard to cool slightly before pouring it into the pie crust to prevent it from melting the crust.
Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just add the whipped cream topping right before serving for the best texture.
This Ultimate Chocolate Cream Pie is a luxurious treat that combines a rich chocolate custard with a crisp graham cracker crust and a fluffy whipped cream topping. Perfect for any chocolate lover or special occasion! 🍫🥧
