Ingredients
- 1 pastry crust 9-inch round
- 7.05 ounces (200g) butter plus extra to grease to pan
- 7.05 ounces (200g) dark chocolate chopped
- 1.76 ounces (50g) light brown sugar
- 6 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.52 ounces (100g) all purpose flour
- Garnish
- chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F / 200 degrees C. Grease a 9 inch pie dish with butter.
- Heat a pan with water. Cut and dark chocolate in pieces and butter in pieces add to a heatproof bowl. Place over the pan and allow them to melt. Stir until smooth. Set aside and allow to cool down for about 10 minutes.
- Arrange pie crust in the pie baking dish. Roll or braid the edge around. Bake pie for 10 minutes. The crust will rise, just poke it a bit with a fork to remove the air under it when you remove it from the oven.
- Whisk sugar and egg in the melted chocolate. Now add vanilla extract and slowly add flour. Keep whisking.
- Pour onto the pie crust. Bring back in the oven and bake between 10-15 minutes. Depending on how soft or hard you want the filling to be.
- Remove and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and butter as this promotes better blending and a smoother texture in the filling.
- Use high-quality chocolate, butter, and other ingredients for the best flavor. Quality ingredients can significantly impact the final taste and texture of your chocolate pie.
- Melt the chocolate gently to avoid scorching. I prefer a double boiler, but others use a microwave in short 10 second bursts, stirring between each interval. This helps achieve a smooth and velvety chocolate consistency.
- Add eggs one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next. This ensures a well-emulsified filling and prevents the mixture from becoming too dense.
- Once the flour is added, mix only until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture in the pie. Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Allow the chocolate pie to cool at room temperature before refrigerating. This gradual cooling process helps set the filling properly and enhances the overall texture.
- The chocolate filling can also be cooked for about 10 minutes and it will have a molten cake texture.
- Reheat the pie in the microwave for 20 seconds then serve with ice cream.
