Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers For the base of the dessert.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted To bind the crust.
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar For sweetness in the crust.
For the Chocolate Filling
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark) Main ingredient for the filling.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a luscious texture.
  • 1 cup whipped topping For an airy finish.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Optional for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted unsalted butter, and powdered sugar. Mix well until it resembles wet sand.
  2. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish to create a nice crust. Pop it in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat just until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Let the chocolate mixture cool for a few minutes, then fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
  5. Pour the chocolate mixture over the prepared crust in the baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the dessert to set. Once firm, cut into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, swap heavy cream with coconut cream and use a plant-based whipped topping. Make sure to chill the chocolate filling adequately for the right texture. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freeze slices wrapped tightly for up to a month.
