Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

All-purpose flour, for surface
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Chocolate-Caramel Cream Pie
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 61 percent to 70 percent cacao), finely chopped
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Easy Caramel Whipped Cream, for topping
Caramel Crunch, for garnish

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee to 1/8-inch thickness. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Tuck overhang under dough so edges are flush with rim, and crimp edges. Lightly prick bottom of dough with a fork. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line dough with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges begin to look dry, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove weights and parchment. Bake until crust is darker around edges and bottom looks dry, 15 to 20 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl. Heat milk and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate melts. Add sugar mixture and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Pour in 1 cup milk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking until completely incorporated. Return mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it just begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Pour custard into crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until custard filling is chilled and firm, at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • Spread caramel whipped cream over filling. Serve immediately or refrigerate within 2 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle caramel crunch over top.

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
28 ounces store-bought dulce de leche, preferably Trader Joes

1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon flake salt, such as Maldon
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Unsweetened chocolate, to grate for garnish

  • Make the filling: Put the chocolate and 1/4 cup ice cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the mixture is almost melted; whisk until smooth. Beat the remaining ice cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy but not melted, about 3 minutes; beat in the chocolate mixture. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the banana slices in the pie crust. Spread the dulce de leche over the bananas and freeze until cold, about 30 minutes. Scoop the ice cream over the bananas and dulce de leche and smooth with a rubber spatula. Freeze until very firm, 4 hours.
  • Make the glaze: Bring the heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate and corn syrup until melted and smooth. Let cool, whisking occasionally, until spreadable, about 15 minutes. Slowly pour the glaze over the ice cream; return to the freezer until set.

  • Chilling the dough before rolling and baking will help to prevent the pie crust from shrinking.
  • Pre-baking the pie crust for 10 minutes before filling it will help to prevent the bottom of the pie from becoming soggy.
  • When making the caramel sauce, be sure to stir it continuously to prevent it from burning.
  • Once the caramel sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before pouring it into the pie crust.
  • Use a thick, fluffy whipped cream or whipped topping for the best results.
  • If you don't have chocolate chips on hand, you can substitute chopped chocolate bars or even grated chocolate.
  • Garnish the pie with additional chocolate chips, whipped cream, or caramel sauce before serving.
