Ingredients

  • Chocolate Cream Pie:
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store bought or homemade)
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chocolate extract
  • 1 teaspoon DeLallo Instant Espresso Coffee Powder
  • Whipped Cream:
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Prepare your homemade pie crust or take the premade crust and use a fork to make indentations in the bottom of the crust (this allows air to escape from the crust and prevents bubbles from forming). Line the crust with a piece of aluminum foil and pour in dried rice or beans to line the aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • While the crust blind bakes, prepare the filling. Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring in one direction (this will prevent the mixture from splitting). Stir until homogenous and remove from the heat. Set aside.
  • Beat the eggs, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Fold 1/3 of the egg mixture along with the chocolate extract and espresso powder into the chocolate until well mixed. Gently fold in the remaining 2/3 of the egg mixture.
  • Remove the pie crust from the oven and take out the aluminum foil and beans/rice. Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust, using a rubber spatula to smooth out the filling. Reduce the heat to 325°F and bake until puffed and just beginning to crack (about 25 minutes).
  • Allow the pie to cool for an hour before placing in the fridge to chill.
  • When ready to serve the chocolate cream pie, make the whipped cream by whipping the cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Sprinkle with shaved chocolate, slice and enjoy!
