Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (175 g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup (75 g) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk or cream
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize graham crackers into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin, ensuring a consistent texture throughout.
- Crumb Binding: Infuse melted butter and sugar into the cracker crumbs, mixing thoroughly until the mixture achieves a cohesive, sand-like consistency that compacts when pressed.
- Crust Molding: Carefully distribute the crumbly mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing to create an even, smooth layer covering the bottom and sides with precision.
- Crust Compaction: Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to firmly pack the crust, creating a dense, stable foundation that will support the pie’s subsequent layers.
- Crust Chilling: Refrigerate the prepared crust for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing it to set and firm up, which will help maintain its structural integrity and prevent crumbling.
Notes
- Crumb Consistency Matters: Ensure graham cracker crumbs are uniformly fine to create a smooth, stable crust that binds perfectly without falling apart.
- Press with Precision: Use moderate, even pressure when forming the crust to prevent thick or thin spots that could compromise the pie’s structural integrity.
- Chill for Success: The 30-minute refrigeration isn’t optional – it’s crucial for setting the crust and preventing crumbling when adding filling layers.
- Temperature Control: Keep ingredients cool when working with the crust to maintain its compact texture and prevent butter from separating or becoming greasy.
