Delicious Chocolate Pie Recipe

Ingredients for the Crust

(for a 24 cm diameter pie)

200 g all-purpose flour

100 g cold butter, diced

50 g confectioners' sugar

1 egg

1 pinch of salt

1 tablespoon cold water (if needed)

Ingredients for the Chocolate Filling

200 g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa), chopped

200 ml heavy cream (fresh cream)

50 g butter

2 eggs

100 g sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Crust Preparation

In a food processor or bowl, combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt.

Add the cold butter and process or rub in with your fingers until you get a coarse crumb texture.

Add the egg and mix until the dough forms a ball. If it's dry, gradually add cold water.

Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a pie pan with the dough, pricking the bottom with a fork.

Bake blind (with aluminum foil and dried beans or grains on top) for 15 minutes, remove the filling, and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool.

Filling Instructions

Heat the cream in a saucepan over low heat until almost boiling, without letting it bubble.

Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl, pour the hot cream over it, and stir until completely melted.

Add the butter and mix until smooth.

Beat the eggs with the sugar, vanilla, and salt until creamy, then fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake at 160°C for 20-25 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly wobbly.

Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
