Report
With a whipped mascarpone topping and chocolate cookie crust this espresso latte custard pie is reminiscent of tiramisu, minus the lady fingers.

Ingredients
Chocolate crust
- 1 chocolate pie crust commercial or your favorite recipe
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Espresso Custard
- 1 Tablespoon espresso powder or extract
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup cream
- 3/4 cup reduced fat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
Mascarpone topping
- 1/2 cup mascarpone or cream cheese
- 1/4 cup cream
- 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Melt chocolate chips over double boiler or in microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring regularly. Place chocolate pie crust on a baking sheet. Dollop melted chocolate onto different areas of crust and spread to cover bottom and sides. Don’t worry about neatness but try not to miss any spots. Let cool.
- Dissolve cornstarch in about ¼ cup of milk. Whisk with remaining filling ingredients, except cream, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in cream gently, to minimize any bubbles/foam. Pour into cooled crust.
- Carefully transfer to oven then bake for 30-40 minutes, or until pie filling jiggles slightly in the center when pan is gently shaken. Allow pie to cool briefly at room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
- Whip mascarpone with powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip whipped cream separately, then fold together.
- Top chilled custard with cream topping, then sprinkle (very gently, I did small pinches by hand) with cocoa powder.
