How to Make Whipped Cream

Ingredients

Pie Crust:
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup cold water
Pie filling:
3 cups milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon of salt
3 ounces of unsweetened chocolate
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

1. Add flour, sugar, water, butter, shortening and salt to a bowl. Mix the ingredients together for 3-4 minutes. Add a little more water so that it's not too dry.


2. Form a dough ball and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper. Make sure that it is the same size as the tart shell.


3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and put some baking beans on the inner pie shell to keep it down while it's cooking.


4. Put the pie crust dough right into the tart pan and crimp it into place. Make the dough twice as thick on the bottom and then take a fork and poke airholes there. Put it in the oven for 20 minutes. take teh aking beans out and put the crust back in for another 10 minutes.


5. Add the milk to a pot on medium heat. While that is heating up, mix together the dry ingredients, the sugar, salt and cornstarch.


6. Pre-melt the unsweetened chocolate in the microwave. Add the milk to the dry ingredients and then add the chocolate. Bring the pot to a boil which will take 4-5 minutes. Keep stirring the mixture and let it boil for another minute.


7. Separate the yolks from the eggs using an egg separator. Temper the eggs into the chocolate. Boil mixture for one more minute. Turn the heat off and add the butter amd vanilla.


8. Pour the filling into the pie shell and let it cool down to room temperature for half an hour. Put it in the fridge for another hour and a half and then serve.

Transcripts

Hi, I am Rob Kingsbury with Kingsbury Chocolates. Today, we are making a chocolate pie. We have just finished the pie shell, the pie filling and now, I am going to make some homemade whipped cream. First of all, we are going to use two cups of heavy cream and pour it right into your mixer, I have a whisk attachment on. I am going to add in two tablespoons of granulated sugar. You can add more if you like it sweeter, but this pie is really, really rich so, it s nice to have something that isn t extremely sweet to pair with it and then I am going to go ahead and add a teaspoon of vanilla. I don t like to measure the vanilla because a little bit more, I think is just fine. So, anyways, I am going to go ahead and turn this on and let it spin around for about four or five minutes until it has a really nice, stiff peaks. Alright, our whipped cream is being beat up for about two minutes now and you can see that it s really coming into a nice form. It will probably take about another minute to have stiff peaks and that will be done. There we go, coming in to play. I think that looks good right there.

Alright, so the whipped cream is ready. It s nice and firm, stiff peaks, so we are done. I am going to take this out and see how nice and stiff that is, nice and firm and we are going to just put this in the fridge until we are ready to use it. This is what it s going to look like. Next, we are going to put our pie together and ready to serve so everybody can enjoy it.
