Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 - 8
Ingredients
- FOR THE GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:
- 14 graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- Pinch of Kosher salt
- FOR THE PIE:
- 1 Graham Cracker crust (follow recipe given here)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 1¾ cups sugar
- Pinch of Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped (I use morsels)
- 2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- MAKE THE GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
- In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until finely ground.
- Add the brown sugar, melted butter, and salt and pulse until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Gently press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9½ inch pie dish, pressing until compact.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
- MAKE THE PIE:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it just begins to simmer and then remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, ¾ cup of the sugar, and the salt until smooth.
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder over the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Add the hot milk, ¼ cup at a time, to the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then pour the mixture back into the pan.
- Stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 4 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir constantly until the mixture coats the back of the spoon, about 1 minute longer.
- Add both chocolates and stir until melted, then stir in 1 teaspoon of the vanilla.
- Pour the filling into the crust and refrigerate, uncovered, until chilled, about 2 hours.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the egg whites and the remaining 1 cup sugar.
- Set the bowl over (but not touching) simmering water in a saucepan (you might want to wear oven mitts, or use kitchen towels to protect your hands from hot steam).
- Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot to the touch, about 2 minutes.
- Place the bowl on the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and add the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Beat on high speed until the meringue cools and stiff peaks form, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Mount the meringue on top of the pie and lightly brown with a kitchen torch (or brown under the broiler for 3 - 5 minutes...watch closely...don't let it burn!).
- Serve and enjoy!
