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:

  1. Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely crumbled.
  2. 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.
  3. Press the mixture into a 9" Springform pan (with removable bottom), previously greased with nonstick spray.
  4. Line the digestive cookies around the edges of the pan, gently pressing them against the graham cracker crust.
  5. Cover and bring to the fridge for at least one hour.

To make the cream filling:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the dissolved gelatin to the cream mixture and stir until combined. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  4. In the meantime, whip the heavy cream with the aid of a hand mixer, until firm peaks form.
  5. When the cream mixture is cool, fold the whipped cream in with a spatula.
  6. Pour the mixture in the Springform pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  7. Cover with plastic and bring to the fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight.

To make the chocolate ganache:

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