Ingredients
for the crust
- I use a recipe by Inspired by Taste. (recipe linked)
for the filling
- 2½ cups milk
- ½ cup whipping/heavy cream whipped
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon good quality instant coffee
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp corn starch (corn flour)
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp flour
- 5 extra-large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tbsp butter
to serve
- 2 cups cream
- ½ cup icing/powdered sugar
- chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Make the pastry according to instructions. Blind bake until golden and crisp in a 180°C/350°F oven then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- To make the filling, combine the milk, cream, sugar, vanilla and coffee in a saucepan and bring to boiling point.
- In a separate bowl, combine the corn starch flour, cocoa powder, egg yolks and salt and mix well to form a smooth paste. If the mixture is very thick, simply whisk in a few tablespoons of the milk mixture until it smooths out.
- When the milk has reached boiling point, remove from the heat.
- Whisk a ladle full of the hot milk into the corn starch mixture to temper the eggs.
- Pour the liquid back into the saucepan and over low-medium heat, whisk continuously until the filling is thick and glossy.
- Pour the mixture through a sieve to make sure there is no lumps. Whisk in the butter and pour the smooth filling into the prepared pie case.
- Spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray then press onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Allow to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight.
- When you are ready to serve, whip the cream with the icing sugar and swirl onto the pie. Top with chocolate shavings and serve.
