Instructions

To Make the Graham Cracker Crust

Place the Graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine.
Stir in the melted butter.
Transfer the mixture to a standard-sized pie dish and press into an even layer at the bottom and up the sides.
Chill, or bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes and cool completely.
Fill with chocolate pudding, chill until firm, top with whipped cream, and garnish with cocoa.

To Make the Chocolate Pudding

Place the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium pot and whisk to combine.
Slowly drizzle in the milk, while whisking.
Whisk in the cream and set the pot over medium heat.
Continue to whisk as the mixture comes to a slow bubble.
Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, eggs, butter, and vanilla, whisking vigorously.
Continue to cook the filling (whisking constantly) over very low heat to gently cook the eggs and allow it to thicken.
Pour into the prepared crust and chill for at least 2 hours.

To Make the Whipped Cream

Place the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl and whip until it can hold stiff peaks.
Spoon the whipped cream on top of the pie in big swirls.
Dust with cocoa powder for garnish, if desired.
