Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For crust
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies, partially crushed
1/2 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped (1 1/2 tablespoons)
For filling
2 teaspoons instant-coffee granules or powder
2 cups 1% milk
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons dark rum
For topping
1/3 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon instant-coffee granules or powder
1 teaspoon dark rum
Garnish: bittersweet chocolate shavings (about 1/2 oz, shaved with a vegetable peeler from a bar of chocolate)
Special equipment: a 7-inch springform pan or an 8- to 9-inch pie plate

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Cook sugar in a dry small nonstick skillet over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat, then immediately stir in Rice Krispies and quickly transfer to springform pan, spreading evenly over bottom and smoothing top with back of a small spoon. (If using pie plate, press crust up side of plate slightly.)
  • Sprinkle chopped chocolate evenly over warm crust to melt, then spread melted chocolate with back of spoon to cover crust. Cool until chocolate is hardened.
  • Make filling:
  • Dissolve instant coffee in 2 tablespoons milk in a small bowl, then stir in gelatin and let stand.
  • Whisk together cornstarch and remaining 1ยท cups milk in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly (this will take about 15 minutes; 1% milk curdles easily if heated too quickly). Continue to simmer, stirring, 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, then add gelatin mixture, chocolate, brown sugar, and rum, whisking until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Cool filling, whisking constantly (so gelatin doesn't set unevenly), just to room temperature, 3 to 5 minutes, then pour over crust in pan. Chill, covered, until set, about 3 hours.
  • Make topping:
  • Beat cream with brown sugar using an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks. Dissolve instant coffee in rum and fold into cream.
  • Spread evenly over chilled custard, then run a thin sharp knife around edge of "pie" and remove side of pan.

This pie was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. The crust was good, but the filling was a little too rich. I think I would have liked it better if the filling had been less sweet.
