Preheat the oven to 375 F.
In the pie plate combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Using your fingertips or a measuring cup press into a 9-inch pie plate.
Bake the graham cracker crust in the preheated oven for 6 to 9 minutes. Once the edges of the crust are lightly brown remove from the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.

In a small saucepan add 1/2 cup of the cream and bring it to a simmer (just before it boils). Add the 1 cup of the chocolate chips and cover for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream. With an electric mixer beat until the cream starts to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Add the melted chocolate and fold until the chocolate and whipped cream are combined.
Spread in the cooled graham cracker crust. Set in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Chop the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and sprinkle over top of the pie.
Continue to refrigerate until serving.

Make sure the whipping cream is cold before whipping.
Place the bowl and the beater in the refrigerator to chill before making the whipped cream.
Use good quality chocolate for best results.
Set the pie in warm water for easier removing of the slices of pie.
The pie can be frozen before serving for a firmer pie.
