Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Rolling Pin
- Pie dish
- Saucepan
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 200 g Dark chocolate chopped
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Butter unsalted
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 Pie crust pre-made
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Pie Crust
- Place your pie crust in the pie dish.
- Using a fork, prick the crust gently to prevent bubbling.
- Pre-bake the crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- Note: Pre-baking the crust helps to prevent sogginess once the filling is added.
Step 2 – Make the Chocolate Filling
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and butter.
- Heat over medium until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined.
- Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until smooth.
- Whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the chocolate mixture.
- Warning: Ensure the chocolate mixture is not too hot when adding the eggs to avoid scrambling them.
Step 3 – Bake the Pie
- Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked crust.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until the filling is set.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing.
- Note: The center should still wobble slightly when taken out of the oven; it will set as it cools.
Notes
- For a glossy finish, brush the pie with a light syrup glaze after baking.
- Allow the pie to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours for best texture.
