Ingredients

  • 9 sheets crushed chocolate graham crackers, about 1 small package
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 1 cup softened salted butter
  • 1 ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a medium-sized bowl combine 9 sheets crushed chocolate graham crackers, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Let the crust completely cool.

French Silk Filling

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl melt 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate 30 seconds at a time until smooth. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer add 1 cup softened salted butter and 1 ½ cups Powdered Sugar. Mix for about 2 minutes until creamy. Add the melted chocolate mixture and beat until incorporated. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Using the whisk attachment add one egg at a time beating 5 minutes on medium speed between each addition. You will be beating for a total of 20 minutes.
  • Pour the filling over the chocolate graham cracker crust and refrigerate for 3 hours or until set.
  • Garnish with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
