Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1. For the crust: Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add the sugar and cocoa powder. Give it another pulse. Add the butter and combine until mixed. Press into a pie plate with the back of a spoon.

2. Chill for 20 minutes. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F. oven for 15-20 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes.

3. For the filling: Melt the butter and chocolate together. Pour into a bowl and whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. When the crust has cooled for 20 minutes, poor the filling into the crust and bake in a 325 degrees F. oven for about 40 minutes, until the top is set.

4. Top with whip cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. (optional)
