Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl.

  4. Press crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Make the Filling
  1. In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk and chopped chocolate. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until smooth. Remove from heat.
  2. Beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped cream. Stir in vanilla extract.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
