CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE WITH WHIPPED PEANUT BUTTER CREAM



Chocolate Cream Pie with Whipped Peanut Butter Cream image

For this pie, my favorite dark chocolate pudding, made with a hint of espresso to deepen the chocolate flavor, is nestled in a flaky peanut butter crust and topped with a mixture of whipped peanut butter and cream. Chocolate cream pie purists, you can certainly skip the PB whip and throw the pudding in whatever crust you like (consider a chocolate cookie crumb crust).

Time 3h40m

Yield one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 9-inch piecrust made with Peanut Butter Pie Dough (see Notes; mixed for a mealy crust), blind-baked, brushed with egg wash, and cooled completely, recipe follows
605 g (2 1/2 cups) whole milk
121 g (1/2 cup) heavy cream
113 g (4 ounces) unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
198 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
37 g (1/3 cup) cornstarch
3 g (1 teaspoon) instant espresso powder, optional
135 g (5 large) egg yolks
28 g (1 oz) (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
10 g (2 teaspoons) vanilla extract
135 g (1/2 cup) smooth peanut butter
25 g (2 tablespoons) granulated sugar
121 g (1/2 cup) heavy cream
3 g (1/2 teaspoon) vanilla extract
151 g (1 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
Pinch of fine sea salt
113 g (4 oz) (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
45 g (3 tablespoons) ice water, plus more as needed
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Make the filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, cream, and chocolate over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has fully melted. Turn the heat up to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and espresso powder together in a medium heatproof bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks until well combined.
  • When the chocolate mixture has come to a simmer, pour about half of it into the egg yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Then pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and cook the pudding over low heat, whisking constantly, until it gets very thick and comes to a first boil (a single large bubble comes up to the surface in the center of the pudding), 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla until well combined with a silicone spatula.
  • Strain the warm pudding into the cooled piecrust and cover with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface of the pudding. Let cool at room temperature until the filling is completely set, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Make the peanut butter cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl, using a hand mixer), whip the peanut butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and continue whipping until the mixture reaches medium peaks. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
  • Finish the pie: Dollop the peanut butter cream on top of the cooled pie and swirl it around with an offset spatula (easier), or transfer it to a pastry bag and pipe it on (fancier-see Pro Tip). Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To mix the dough by hand: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter cubes, tossing them through the flour until each piece is well coated. Cut the butter into the flour by pressing the pieces between your palms or your fingers, flattening the cubes into big shards and continuing to toss them through the flour, recoating the shingled pieces.
  • For a flaky crust, continue cutting the butter into the flour just until the pieces of butter are about the size of walnut halves. Or, for a mealy crust, continue to work the mixture together until the pieces of butter are about the size of peas. To mix the dough in a food processor: See Pro Tip.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add 3 tablespoons ice water for a single crust or 6 tablespoons for a double crust and mix to incorporate. Then add more ice water 1 tablespoon at a time and continue mixing just until the dough comes together. As it begins to come together, you can knead it a few times to make sure it's fully combined. It's important not to add too much water to the dough, which should never be sticky- it should hold together easily in a ball but still feel almost dry to the touch.
  • Form the dough into an even disk if making a single crust; or divide in half and shape into 2 equal disks if making a double crust. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • For a single-crust pie: Lightly flour the work surface. Roll out the dough to a circle 1/4-inch thick: Start in the center of the disk of dough and push away from you using even pressure. Return to the center and repeat, this time moving toward you. Continue, rotating the dough occasionally and reflouring as needed to prevent the dough from sticking. This produces a more even result than just rolling back and forth, which can often yield thin edges and a thick center.
  • To transfer the dough to the pie pan, roll the dough up onto the rolling pin, starting at the far edge of the round. With the pie pan in front of you, start at the edge closest to you and gently unfurl the dough into the pan. Press gently to make sure the crust settles all the way to the bottom, but be careful not to poke any holes in the dough. Trim away the excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes or freeze for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Tuck the excess dough under at the edges, pressing lightly to help seal the dough to the outer rim of the pie pan. Crimp the edges of the piecrust as desired. Return the dough to the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes or to the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Mix the egg with about 1 tablespoon water and whisk. Brush the crimped edges of the dough with a thin layer of the egg wash. The crust is now ready to be blind-baked.
  • Peanut Butter Pie Dough: Cut a piece of parchment about 5 inches square. Spread 68 g (1/4 cup creamy peanut butter) in a 1/2-inch-thick layer on the paper and freeze until fairly firm, about 1 hour. Cut into cubes and use in place of 57 g (2 oz) (4 tablespoons) of the butter.
  • To Blind Bake A Single Pie: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C), preferably with a baking stone on the bottom rack. Cut a square of parchment paper slightly larger than the pie pan.
  • Prick the chilled dough all over with a fork. Place the parchment over the crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
  • Bake the crust on the stone or bottom rack just until the edges barely begin to turn golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Take the pan out of the oven and remove the parchment and weights.
  • Return the pie pan to the oven and bake for another 12 to 17 minutes, until the dough is evenly golden brown. Cool the crust completely before filling it.

Tips:

  • Use High-Quality Peanut Butter: The quality of peanut butter directly impacts the taste of your whipped cream. Choose a brand that is creamy, smooth, and has a rich peanut butter flavor. Avoid using natural peanut butter as it tends to be too oily and may not whip properly.
  • Chill the Ingredients: Before whipping, ensure that the peanut butter, cream, and beaters are adequately chilled. This helps the cream whip up faster and achieve a stiffer consistency.
  • Whip Gradually: Start whipping the cream on low speed and gradually increase it as the cream thickens. This prevents the cream from overwhipping and becoming grainy.
  • Don't Overwhip: Keep an eye on the whipped cream as it whips. Stop whipping once it reaches stiff peaks. Overwhipping can cause the cream to separate and become lumpy.
  • Use Fresh Cream: Fresh cream whips better and produces a lighter and fluffier texture compared to older cream.
  • Add Sweetener to Taste: The amount of sugar or sweetener you add depends on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired sweetness.
  • Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different flavor variations by adding vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to the whipped cream.
