Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 full sized graham crackers, pulverized to crumbs; 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted; 250 grams 65% chocolate, chopped into 1/4 pieces or smaller; 300 grams whole milk; 3 tablespoons corn syrup; pinch of salt; 1 cup smooth peanut butter (not the natural, separated kind); 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar; 1 cup cold heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks; Optional: additional whipped cream for top, chocolate sauce for drizzling

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl and stir to combine. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Bake for 15 minutes, until the crust gets slightly browned. Allow the crust to cool completely.
2
Place chopped chocolate, pinch of salt, and corn syrup in a bowl. Bring the milk to a boil, immediately remove from the heat, and pour over the chocolate. Allow this to sit for 1 minute, then whisk until all of the chocolate has melted and the mixture is homogenous. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and whisk constantly over low heat for about 8 minutes. The mixture will steam, thicken, and begin to sputter and bubble. Continue to whisk and scrape the bottom to prevent burning. When the mixture is of pudding consistency, remove from the heat. Pour into a bowl, press plastic wrap directly on the surface, and chill for 3 hours.
3
Just before assembly, whisk peanut butter and confectioner's sugar together until the mixture is thick and glossy. Whisk about 1/3 of the chilled whipped cream into the mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining 2/3, taking care not to deflate it.
4
Spread the chilled chocolate layer evenly over the bottom of the pie shell, then pour the mousse evenly over that. If desired, top with additional whipped cream, chocolate syrup, nuts, or chocolate chips. Serve immediately.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
