Cardamom and white chocolate add intrigue to the silky vanilla bean filling for this chocolate wafer-crusted pie. Billows of vanilla whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder make the perfect final flourish.

Time 4h

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 ounces chocolate wafer cookies, such as Nabisco Famous (about 28)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
2 large egg yolks
2 1/2 cups whole milk
6 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
Dutch-process cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Crust:Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, pulse wafers until finely ground (you should have 1 1/2 cups). Add butter, granulated sugar, and salt; pulse to combine. Firmly press mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake until dry, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Filling:In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, vanilla, and cardamom. Whisk in egg yolks, then milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, then cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate until melted, then butter. Pour filling into crust; let stand 30 minutes. Refrigerate 1 hour. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface; refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours more and up to 2 days.
  • Topping:Whisk cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla to medium peaks. Dollop on top of pie. Dust with cocoa; serve immediately. (For cleanest cuts, wipe knife between slices.)

I've tried many vanilla pudding pie recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect combination of creamy, sweet, and vanilla-y.

I love that this pie can be made ahead of time. I usually make it the night before I need it, and it's always perfect.

The vanilla flavor in this pie is spot-on. It's not too strong, and it's not too weak. It's just the right amount of vanilla flavor.

This vanilla pudding pie was a hit at our family gathering! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the pudding filling was smooth and creamy. Everyone loved it!
