Time 3h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Nonstick cooking spray
3 ounces semisweet chocolate (not chips), chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch fine salt
4 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
3 ounces milk chocolate (not chips), chopped, plus extra for garnish
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the crust: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Coat the inside of a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. Stir both of the sugars and the vanilla and salt into the chocolate mixture with a whisk. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Stir in the egg and beat vigorously until fully incorporated. Add the flour and cocoa powder and stir just until combined; the batter should be sticky and fairly stiff.
  • Spoon the batter into the middle of the pie plate and cover the batter with a piece of plastic wrap big enough to cover the pie plate. Smooth the batter across the bottom of the pie plate and 1/2 inch up the sides using your fingers. Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. (Check the batter after 10 minutes; if the sides are slumping or the bottom puffs up, use the rounded back of a large metal spoon to push the sides back up the pie plate and the bottom back down.) Set aside on a wire rack to cool, at least 15 minutes.
  • For the pudding: Whisk the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt together in a medium saucepan. Vigorously whisk in the yolks, then the milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and simmer, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla until melted, then remove from the heat. Pour into the pie shell and cover with plastic wrap pressed gently against the pudding's surface (only if you don't want a skin to form). Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  • Shave some milk chocolate with a vegetable peeler or grater and scatter the pieces over the pie.

Time 4h

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 ounces vanilla wafers, such as Nilla Wafers (about 46)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large egg yolks
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped (2/3 cup)
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, pulse wafers until finely ground (you should have 1 1/2 cups). Add butter, granulated sugar, and salt; pulse to combine. Firmly press mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake until dry, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk in egg yolks, then milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, then cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and whisk in both chocolates until melted, then butter. Pour filling into crust; let stand 30 minutes. Refrigerate 1 hour. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface; refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours more and up to 2 days.
  • Topping: Whisk cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla to medium peaks. Dollop on top of pie. Serve immediately. (For cleanest cuts, wipe knife between slices.)

OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE



Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pudding Pie image

This is your grandma's puddin' pie, only it's vegan - a smooth, cool and creamy pudding in a classic graham cracker shell. To make life even easier, you can use a store-bought crust. For added grandma love, serve with vegan whipped cream and shaved chocolate. (This recipe is an adaptation of one found in "Vegan Pie in the Sky: 75 Out-of-This-World Recipes for Pies, Tarts, Cobblers and More" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.)

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 4h15m

Yield One 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups finely ground graham crackers (made from 10 ounces of whole graham crackers)
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons melted nonhydrogenated margarine, melted coconut oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon plain soy milk or almond milk
3 cups almond milk
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Big pinch of salt
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham crumbs and sugar. Drizzle in the oil or melted margarine. Use a spoon to blend the mixture thoroughly to moisten the crumbs, then drizzle in the soy milk and stir again to form a crumbly dough.
  • Pour the crumbs into the pie plate. Press crumbs into the sides of the plate first, then work your way down to the bottom. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until firm. Let the crust cool before filling.
  • In a small (2-quart) saucepan off the heat, combine 1 cup of the almond milk and the cornstarch. Use a fork to whisk until the cornstarch is good and dissolved. Whisk in the remaining almond milk, the sugar, cocoa powder and salt. It's O.K. if the cocoa is a bit clumpy at first; it will dissolve eventually.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally. Keep a close eye because once boiling, you want to lower the heat and bring it to a slow rolling boil. Whisk consistently until the mixture is thickened, which should be about 7 minutes.
  • Add the chocolate chips and mix to melt. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the pudding into the prepared pie shell and let cool for about 15 minutes on the counter, just until it stops steaming like mad. To keep a skin from forming, place a circle of parchment paper over the filling. Refrigerate and let set for at least 3 hours.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Crust in Advance: Making the graham cracker crust ahead of time allows it to chill and set properly, resulting in a more stable and flavorful base for your pie.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: Opt for a good-quality milk chocolate to ensure a rich and decadent flavor in your pudding. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 35% to 40%.
  • Temper the Eggs: Slowly adding hot milk to the egg mixture while whisking continuously prevents the eggs from curdling and ensures a smooth and creamy pudding.
  • Cook the Pudding Until Thickened: Stir the pudding mixture constantly over medium heat until it reaches a thick and glossy consistency. This prevents lumps from forming and ensures a smooth and velvety texture.
  • Chill the Pudding Before Assembly: Allow the pudding to cool completely in the refrigerator before pouring it into the pie crust. This helps it set properly and prevents it from becoming too runny.
  • Garnish with Fresh Berries: Top the pie with fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, for a colorful and refreshing touch.

This classic milk chocolate pudding pie is an indulgent and delightful dessert that combines a rich and creamy pudding filling with a crispy graham cracker crust.
