Ingredients
Scale
Creating this dessert requires just a handful of pantry staples. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter
Feel free to substitute the graham crackers with digestive biscuits if that’s what you’ve got on hand. And if you’re out of heavy cream, whole milk with a touch of butter can serve as a decent alternative in a pinch.
Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to whip up your dessert in no time:
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir continually until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from heat, and whisk in the cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined 8-inch square pan to form the crust.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is firm.
- Once set, slice into squares and serve chilled.
Remember to involve the kids; their enthusiasm makes the process even more enjoyable, and they love being part of the creation.
