Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

For crust:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups cinnamon graham cracker crumbs (from about twelve 5-by 21/2-inch crackers)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
For filling:
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (no more than 60% cacao if marked)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
2 whole large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For whipped cream:
1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
5 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For chocolate curls:
1 (3-to 4-inch-thick) chunk bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Stir together all crust ingredients. Press over bottom and up side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes, then cool.
  • Make filling:
  • Melt chocolate in a large bowl.
  • Stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a small bowl.
  • Whisk together whole eggs and yolks in another bowl, then whisk in cornstarch mixture.
  • Stir together milk, cream, salt, and remaining brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan and bring just to a boil over medium heat. Pour half of milk mixture into egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking, then pour egg mixture into remaining milk mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, then boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into melted chocolate and whisk to combine.
  • Transfer hot filling to crust and chill, its surface covered with parchment, until filling is cold, about 3 hours.
  • Make whipped cream:
  • Beat cream with confectioners sugar and cinnamon using an electric mixer until it holds stiff peaks. Spoon over chilled filling.
  • Make chocolate curls:
  • Hold chocolate in your hands (or microwave on low power in 10-second intervals) until surface softens slightly. Using a vegetable peeler (preferably Y-shaped), "peel" large chocolate curls onto a paper towel. If curls are too brittle or don't form easily, rewarm chocolate just until surface softens.
  • Sprinkle curls on pie.

Tips:

  • Ensure your heavy cream is chilled before whipping, as this helps it reach stiff peaks more easily and quickly.
  • For a richer, creamier whipped cream, use heavy cream with a higher fat content (at least 36%).
  • Add your powdered sugar gradually while whipping to prevent it from becoming grainy.
  • For a lighter, fluffier whipped cream, beat in some air before adding the powdered sugar.
  • To achieve flavored whipped cream, add extracts, spices, or liqueurs of your choice after the whipped cream has reached stiff peaks.
  • For a beautiful presentation, pipe the whipped cream onto your pie using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.

This chocolate cinnamon whipped cream topping is an easy and delicious way to elevate any pie. It's perfect for special occasions or everyday desserts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a light, fluffy, and flavorful whipped cream that will take your pie to the next level.
