Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 1 cup 150g graham crackers, crushed
  • cup 75g salted butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp 45g demerara sugar
For the Filling:
  • 8 ounces 225g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
  • ¾ cup 175g salted butter
  • tsp instant coffee granules
  • tbsp boiling water
  • cups 375ml half-and-half
  • 1 cup 200g dark muscovado sugar
  • 7 extra-large eggs beaten
To Finish:
  • 1 cup 250ml heavy cream, whipped

Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and demerara sugar until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  2. Press the mixture into the base and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie tin to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
Make the Filling
  1. Place the dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  2. Mix the coffee granules with boiling water and stir this into the chocolate mixture for a deeper flavor.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the half-and-half muscovado sugar and beaten eggs until fully blended. Gradually pour this mixture into the melted chocolate, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
  4. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until the filling is just set with a slight wobble in the center. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Finish the Pie
  1. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the chilled pie.
