1. Prepare the crust ๐Ÿž๐Ÿ”ฅ: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs ๐Ÿž, sugar ๐Ÿฌ, and melted butter ๐Ÿงˆ. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. This buttery, crispy crust forms the perfect base for your creamy chocolate filling. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธโ„๏ธ

2. Make the chocolate filling ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿฅ›: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk ๐Ÿฅ›, heavy cream ๐Ÿฅ›, egg yolks ๐Ÿฅš, sugar ๐Ÿฌ, cornstarch ๐ŸŒฟ, and salt ๐Ÿง‚. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens into a smooth custard, about 6-8 minutes. Once the custard is thick and bubbling, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate ๐Ÿซ, butter ๐Ÿงˆ, and vanilla extract ๐ŸŒฟ until smooth and glossy. This rich chocolate custard is the star of the pie, creating a luscious filling that melts in your mouth. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿซ

3. Fill the pie crust ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ: Pour the warm chocolate custard into the cooled pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set. Chilling allows the custard to firm up, creating a silky texture. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธโ„๏ธ

4. Make the whipped cream topping ๐Ÿฅ›๐Ÿฌ: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream ๐Ÿฅ›, powdered sugar ๐Ÿฌ, and vanilla extract ๐ŸŒฟ until soft peaks form. The whipped cream should be light and fluffy, perfect for topping the rich chocolate filling. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฌ

5. Assemble and garnish the pie ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿซ: Once the pie has chilled and the filling is set, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the chocolate filling. Garnish with chocolate shavings ๐Ÿซ for an elegant and indulgent finish. This creamy, rich pie is now ready to be served and enjoyed! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰

6. Slice and serve ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰: Slice the Chocolate Cream Pie and serve chilled. Each bite is a perfect balance of buttery crust, silky chocolate filling, and fluffy whipped cream. Itโ€™s the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers! ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ
