Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Prepare the Filling
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Chocolate
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract until melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Make the Whipped Cream
