Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Freeze/Chill

Yield 8-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust:
1 1/4 c. chocolate cookie crumbs (e.g., Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers)
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. soft butter
Filling:
1 c. milk
1/2 c. granulated sugar
3 slightly beaten egg yolks
1/4 t. salt
1/4 c. cold water
1 T. gelatin
1 t. vanilla
3 stiffly beaten egg whites
1 c. heavy cream, whipped
Semi-sweet chocolate for grating on top of pie

Steps:

  • For Crust: Crumble chocolate wafers into the bowl of a food processor. Add the sugar to the crumbs. Cut the butter into bits and add to the crumb mixture. Process by pulsing the crumbs until the ingredients are evenly mixed. Press into a 9" pie pan across the bottom and up the sides. For Filling: In a heavy saucepan, heat milk to scalding. Mix beaten yolks with sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl. Add hot milk gradually to the yolk mixture to prevent 'cooking' the eggs. Place bowl over hot water and cook, stirring constantly, until a custard is formed and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin on cold water and let stand for 3 minutes. Add gelatin to warm custard and stir until dissolved. Cool until thickened. Add vanilla and mix well. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until thickened. Add beaten egg whites and whipped cream by folding into the custard mixture. Pour into chocolate crust, heaping the filling slightly. Grate semi-sweet chocolate on top of pie. Chill until firm, about 2-3 hours.
