Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream, for serving
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Slowly add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle slightly larger than your pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides.
  6. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
  7. Using a fork, prick the bottom of the pie crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
  8. Place the pie crust in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  9. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to steam. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
  10. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
  11. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling the eggs.
  12. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  13. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  14. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  15. Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish.
  16. Slice and serve the good chocolate pie, and enjoy!
