Ditte Isager

We love the cinnamon in Mexican chocolate. For this pie, we surround a smooth chocolate-pudding filling with cinnamon—a crumbly spiced graham cracker crust below and cinnamon whipped cream on top.

Cooks' notes:

•Crust can be baked 2 days ahead and kept, loosely covered with foil (once cool), at room temperature.
•Pie can be chilled, loosely covered with plastic wrap (once cold), up to 1 day.
