Ingredients  

For the crust:

  • 30 squares Honey Flavored Graham Crackers
  • 1 1/2 sticks of butter, softened
  • 12 chocolate covered digestive cookies

For the cream filling:

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 14 oz can sweet condensed milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/4oz package unflavored gelatin (1 1/2 tsp)
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

For the chocolate ganache:

  • 1 12oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions 

To make the crust:

  • Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely crumbled.
  • Transfer them to a large bowl and add the softened butter. Using your hands, mix the crumbs and the butter until a mass resembling wet sand forms.
  • Press the mixture into a 9" Springform pan (with removable bottom), previously greased with nonstick spray.
  • Line the digestive cookies around the edges of the pan, gently pressing them against the graham cracker crust.
  • Cover and bring to the fridge for at least one hour.

To make the cream filling:

  • Add the egg yolks (strained, if possible), the sweet condensed milk and the milk to a sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium low heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until you obtain a thick cream.
  • Add the gelatin package and the cold water to a microwave safe bowl and bring it to the microwave, 5 seconds at a time, until dissolved.
  • Add the dissolved gelatin to the cream mixture and stir until combined. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • In the meantime, whip the heavy cream with the aid of a hand mixer, until firm peaks form.
  • When the cream mixture is cool, fold the whipped cream in with a spatula.
  • Pour the mixture in the Springform pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  • Cover with plastic and bring to the fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight.

To make the chocolate ganache:

  • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, over medium heat, for about 5 minutes or until it begins to boil.
  • Combine the hot heavy cream and the chocolate chips in a bowl and stir until the chocolate has melted.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache on the cream pie.
  • Cover with plastic and bring to the fridge for at least one hour.
  • Your pie is now ready to be served! :)
