I love this pie, its super fluffy and quite rich. Not to mention its fairly easy to make. NOTES: this recipe is for 2 pies, so if you only want one, halve the recipe. Also you can make a coffee cream for spare flavor. Ingredients:
3 -6 ounces chocolate (depending on the size of the pie) |
1 cup butter, per 6 ounces |
1 cup sugar, per 6 ounces |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (again,depending on size of pie) |
1/4 cup cocoa powder (more or less to your preference) |
3 eggs |
1/4 cup coffee |
1/2 whipped cream |
1 cup flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces |
2 1/2 tablespoons water or 2 1/2 tablespoons milk |
1 tablespoon coffee |
Directions:
1. Crust: Mix in all the dry ingredients into a bowl, Cut butter into mixture and mix in by hand until the mixture resembles a course meal.
2. Pour in water and mix well.
3. Roll dough out on a lightly-floured surface until thin.
4. Press into a lightly-floured pie tin and brush the crust with the tablespoon of coffee.
5. Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes until light brown. Set aside.
6. Chocolate Filling: Melt the chocolate and butter until fairly liquified (seperate bowls).
7. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix in well.
8. Pour into pre-baked pie crust.
9. Bake for another 5-10 minute until edges are golden brown.
10. Sprinkle with a bit of cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least two hours. Serve.
11. Top with coffee cream if you choose.
