      4. Chocolate Cream Pie

      Chocolate Cream Pie

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Protein Vegetarian No Shellfish Nut-Free American Dessert

      Chocolate Cream Pie

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Protein Vegetarian No Shellfish Nut-Free American Dessert
      10 servings
      Prep time: 1 hour
      Total time: 4 hours

      Description

      Chocolate cream pie isn’t just a diner special—it’s the perfect dessert for any celebration. We love the added flair of chocolate curls on top, but a pretty dollop of whipped cream on each piece would look just as elegant.

      Directions

      1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
      2. To prepare crust: Process chocolate wafers in a food processor until finely ground. Add oil and milk; pulse until combined. Using your hands, press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack.
      3. To prepare filling: Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large saucepan. Whisk milk and eggs in a medium bowl, then whisk into the sugar mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until bubbles begin to form around the edges. Cook, stirring vigorously, for 2 minutes more. Strain through a sieve into a large bowl. Whisk in chocolate until completely melted.
      4. Pour the filling into the crust. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a “skin” from forming. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
      5. To prepare topping & decorate pie: Just before serving, beat cream and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Smooth any lines on the pie’s surface with the back of a spoon. Spoon or pipe (with a pastry bag) 10 dollops of whipped cream around the edge of the pie. Garnish with chocolate curls.

      Tips

      • Tip: To make chocolate curls, start by microwaving a block of chocolate on Low, in 15-second bursts, until barely softened, not warm. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the chocolate into curls.
      • To make ahead: Prepare through Step 4 and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Decorate just before serving.
