Earl Grey Pie with Chocolate Crust
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- For the chocolate crust:
- 1 1/2 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
- For the Earl Grey filling:
- 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of whole milk
- 3 tablespoons of loose Earl Grey tea leaves
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add 3 tablespoons of loose Earl Grey tea leaves. Let steep for 10 minutes, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the tea leaves to extract as much liquid as possible.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 4 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until smooth.
- Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the filling into the cooled chocolate crust. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
