Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or almond flour
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 2 tbsp sugar

For the filling:

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. In a bowl, mix the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour) with melted butter and sugar until well combined.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
5. Whisk in the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
6. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition.
7. Stir in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth.
8. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for 25 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
9. Let the pie cool completely before serving. Optionally, refrigerate for a few hours for a firmer texture.
10. Serve with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of cocoa powder.

Tips & Variations

• Use a store-bought gluten-free crust to save time.
• Swap semisweet chocolate for dark chocolate if you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor.
• Add a tablespoon of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate taste.
• For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream and dairy-free butter.
