How to Serve Chocolate Pie

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.

Hi, I am Rob Kingsbury with Kingsbury Chocolates and we are now finishing up our chocolate pie. Pie is made, whipped cream is made, we have got some decorative shavings over here. So, we put this in our tart shell. So, I just wanted to actually come through and show you guys how to remove the pie from the shell and one of the important reasons that we made a pie crust that was a little bit thicker is so that when you do this and you take it out of the shell, it stands upon its own.

So, at this point, we are just going to enjoy. I have got a few little extra dark chocolate shavings here and I am just going to pour it all over here. I think it looks beautiful and little added chocolate is a nice bonus, beautiful and we have got our homemade whipped cream with only two tablespoons of sugar for the entire pint of whipped cream and we are actually going to serve whipped cream with every single portion but I am going to put a little bit right there so everybody can see what we are enjoying. So, alright.

Well, thank you very much. I appreciate your time and we are about to actually slice this and enjoy ourselves, wished you were here.
