Classic Diner Style Chocolate Pie

This recipe is by Martha Stewart.

INGREDIENTS:

    • 30 chocolate wafer cookies (about 6 ounces)
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 3 tablespoons chocolate malt Ovaltine
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 cup cornstarch
    • 5 large egg yolks
    • 2 cups whole milk
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 5 ounces dark chocolate (60 to 70 percent cacao), coarsely chopped
    • 2 ounces milk chocolate, coarsley chopped
    • 2 teaspoons whiskey
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream

LET'S MAKE THE PIE:

  1. Make the crust: Place cookies in the bowl of a food processor and process until a fine powder is formed. You should have about 1 1/2 cups. Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl and stir in sugar. Add melted butter and mix until well combined; mixture should feel wet.
  2. Turn crust mixture out into a 9-inch round pie plate. Using the back of a large spoon, press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Transfer crust to freezer.
  3. Make the filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, Ovaltine, salt, and cornstarch. Add egg yolks and whisk until combined; mixture will look like a thick paste. Slowly pour in milk and cream, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly; let boil for 30 seconds and immediately remove from heat.
  4. Add chocolates, whiskey, and vanilla; whisk until well combined and mixture has cooled slightly. Let stand, at room temperature, for 15 minutes. If a thin skin forms on the filling while cooling, whisk until skin is gone. Remove pie crust from freezer and pour filling into the crust. Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.

Hi, April...Just wanted to let you know I'm not going to continue following this blog. They are awesome recipes, in fact, too awesome. Need to focus on my WW goals and avoid luscious pies such as these for now. I'll still be a follower at your quilty blog. I knew you'd notice losing a follower and didn't want you to think I was mad or something...Later!
