Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll the pie dough out on a lightly floured board to about 1/4-inch thick, then fit into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
- Place a piece of parchment paper into the pie crust and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is starting to set and the edges are browning, 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and beans, and continue to bake until completely golden and crisp looking, another 5 minutes. If the edges start browning before the center cooks, cover them with some foil. Let cool completely.
- Melt the bittersweet chocolate over a double boiler. Using a pastry brush, paint the inside of the pie shell with the melted chocolate in a thin even layer. Set aside to harden.
- For the chocolate filling: Meanwhile, in the top of a double boiler heat 2 cups of the milk until almost, but not quite, boiling. Add the chocolate and stir until it's completely melted. Set aside off the heat.
- In a big bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt. Whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup milk.
- Stir the flour mixture into the hot chocolate mixture. Return the double boiler to the heat, whisk in the egg yolks, and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very thick, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, then transfer to another bowl. Cover with plastic wrap directly touching the surface, and refrigerate until cold.
- At least 3 hours before you are ready to serve, add the chocolate filling to the pie shell, and refrigerate.
- For the whipped cream: Right before serving, cream together the mascarpone with the sugar and vanilla bean seeds in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the heavy cream and continue to beat until it holds medium-stiff peaks.
- Add the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the cream generously on top of the pie. Sprinkle with chocolate curls and shavings, and serve.

YUM YUM CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE
This pie was my Mother's take on chocolate pie -- intended to satisfy the cravings of a family full of "chocoholics." Family members have been known to slip into the kitchen at night to hide a slice so that they can have it the next day. There is usually a friendly argument over who will get the last piece. Prepare to be the referee in your family -- or just to be on the safe side, double the recipe and make 2 pies. Be sure to use evaporated milk as called for in the recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, or the top of a double boiler, sift cocoa, sugar, flour and pinch of salt together and stir until well mixed.
- Carefully separate eggs, setting whites aside for meringue. Place yolks in small bowl, beat lightly, then add 1/2 cup evaporated milk and mix well.
- Slowly add egg mixture to dry ingredients, whisking as you pour, then add remainder of evaporated milk and whisk together until smooth.
- Place directly over medium heat and cook until thickened, stirring often. If using double boiler bring water in bottom to just below the boil, place top pan with mixture over and cook until thickened. Double boiler takes longer, but until you get some experience it gives you more control.
- As mixture begins to thicken stir constantly and do not let it scorch or burn.
- After mixture thickens, stir in butter and vanilla, stir until butter is melted, remove from heat and pour into prepared pie shell.
- If you suspect there might be any lumps in the mixture pour and press through a fine mesh sieve for a silky smooth texture.
- Prepare meringue by placing the 3 egg whites (at room temperature) in an immaculately clean mixing bowl (clean it with a paper towel with a bit of white vinegar if there is any question). Beat slowly at first to break up whites.
- Add cream of tartar and small pinch of salt, increase mixer speed and beat until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add sugar, 1 T. at at time, continuing to beat, until all sugar is added, then add 1/2 t. vanilla extract, and beat until stiff peaks form, but meringue should not be dry.
- Spread meringue on top of pie, starting at edge of pie, being sure to press the meringue to the crust, and work toward the middle. When all meringue is on pie, shape into swirls and peaks.
- Immediately place in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until well-browned, but not burned.

CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE
Duff Goldman knows better than anyone that kids can do incredible things in the kitchen. In eight seasons judging and hosting Kids Baking Championship, he has seen contestants as young as 9 tackle tricky macarons and towering Napoleons. So when he started writing a kids baking book, Duff didn't take the easy way out. "I wanted recipes that would really challenge and excite them," he says. In Super Good Baking for Kids, he encourages young chefs to measure by weight, as professional bakers do, and to attempt not-so-basic projects like churros, pies and pâte à choux. Some of the recipes, like Rainbow Unicorn Brownies, are inspired by kids on the show, and others are just Duff favorites, like chocolate cream pie. "There's nothing that sounds more delicious than those three words!" Duff says.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor with a blade attachment, pulse the cookies until you get cookie crumbs. Put the crumbs in a medium bowl, add the melted butter and toss with a fork to combine. Press the cookies into a 9-inch pie pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until you're ready to use it, whichever comes second.
- Make the ganache: Put the chocolate chips in a medium bowl and set aside. Pour the cream into a small saucepan and, over medium-high heat, bring the cream to a boil. Turn off the heat and pour the cream over the chocolate. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it sit for 3 minutes. Remove the towel and whisk the ganache until it's shiny. Pour half of the ganache into the pie crust and spread evenly all the way up the sides. Pour the rest of the ganache into a piping bag and set aside at room temperature.
- Make the chocolate whipped cream: In a medium bowl using a rubber spatula, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar and cocoa powder together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the heavy cream and whisk until medium-stiff peaks form. (Make sure it doesn't get too stiff.) Place the whipped cream in the fridge until you're ready to use it. In another medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding and the milk until it thickens. Using a rubber spatula, fold half of the chocolate whipped cream into the bowl of pudding. Return both bowls of creamy pudding and remaining whipped cream to the fridge.
- Make the filling: In a microwave-safe bowl with the microwave on high, heat the chocolate chips in 10-second increments, stirring each time, until they're all melted. Add the cream cheese and sugar and mix together.
- Finish the pie: Take the pie crust from the refrigerator. Using an offset metal spatula, spread the pie filling evenly into the pie crust. Return the pie crust and filling to the fridge for 15 minutes to set. Take the filled pie crust and the pudding-and-whipped-cream mixture from the fridge. Spread the mixture evenly over the pie filling. Refrigerate for another 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the fridge and spread the remaining chocolate whipped cream over the pie. Spray canned whipped topping all over the pie in a fun design. Pipe the remaining ganache all over the pie (optional). Top with the chopped Oreos, shaved chocolate (shaved from a bar with a vegetable peeler) and chocolate sprinkles. Wake up in 30 years from the deliciousness of your chocolate coma.
