It can go into a Chocolate Graham crumb crust or a normal crust.
Ingredients
- 1 Pie crust of choice.
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Directions
- Make filling: In a small cup, combine vanilla and espresso powder until coffee has dissolved. Mix 1 cup half-and-half with both chocolates in a saucepan and place on stove over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking often, until chocolates have melted and mixture is hot, about 5 minutes (it may look grainy). In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt. Pour remaining cup of half-and-half into sugar mixture and whisk until no lumps remain. Whisk in yolks.
- While whisking cornstarch mixture constantly, slowly pour in hot chocolate mixture. When both mixtures are combined, pour back into saucepan, place on stove over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and beginning to boil, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour hot pudding into a clean medium bowl, and stir in butter and reserved vanilla-coffee mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing plastic directly onto surface. Let pudding cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then pour into pie shell, Place in the fridge for 3 hours or More
