Categories dessert main dish

Time 4h10m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 whole pie crust, baked and cooled (or can use Oreo or graham cracker crust)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
3 c. whole milk
4 whole egg yolks
6 1/2 oz. weight bittersweet chocolate, chopped finely
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. butter
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir or whisk together.
Pour in milk and egg yolks, and whisk together.
Stir over medium heat until the mixture just barely comes to a boil and becomes thick, about 6-8 minutes (maybe less, maybe more; just watch it!) The second it starts to bubble and thicken (note: It should be thick like pudding!) remove it from the heat. Add the chocolate, vanilla, and butter, and stir until everything is beautifully combined.
Pour the pudding into the pie crust (if there is extra, spoon it into small dishes) and place in the fridge to chill for 4 hours uncovered.
Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream!

Categories Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 9 inch refrigerated pie crust, prepared and baked for a filled pie (See Note)
1 1/2 cups sugar ((290 grams))
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour ((25 grams))
3/4 tsp instant coffee granules or instant espresso powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
4 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butter or margarine (salted butter), softened ((114 grams))
2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted ((56 grams))
1/4 cup slivered almonds or sliced almonds

Steps:

Prepare a 9 inch deep dish pastry crust as you would for a filled (cream) type pie. That means bake it or par-bake it. These days we usually par-bake. If using a Pillsbury crust, follow directions on box. If using a homemade crust, see note.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In medium bowl, mix sugar, flour, instant coffee, cinnamon and salt.
In large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed until light in color. Beat in sugar mixture. Beat in buttermilk, vanilla, butter and chocolate until well combined (filling may look curdled). Pour into crust-lined pan. Sprinkle with almonds.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set and crust is deep golden brown. After 15 to 20 minutes of baking, cover edge of crust with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Transfer to refrigerator to chill.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the pie will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make the pie tough. Beat the eggs just until they are light and fluffy.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pie bakes evenly.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch.
