Ingredients
Scale
1 pre-made graham cracker crust
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep the Pie Crust: If you opted for a homemade crust, get that baked and cooled. If you’re using a pre-made graham cracker crust, just set it aside for now. No need to bake it again; it’s ready to shine!
Heat the Heavy Cream: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it’s just about to simmer. You want it warm, not boiling! This step is crucial because it’s going to help melt your chocolate nicely.
Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute or two. Then gently stir until everything is melted and silky.
Mix It Up: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and vanilla together until well combined. Pour this mixture into the melted chocolate and stir until it’s all one happy family.
Pour and Bake: Now pour this delightful mixture into your prepared pie crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but still a little jiggle.
Chill: Once it’s done, let it cool on the counter for about 15 minutes, then pop it into the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight if you can resist!).
Garnish and Serve: Add your desired garnishes just before serving, and voilà! You have a stunning chocolate mint pie.
Notes
