Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 1 ½ cups (210 g) chocolate cookie crumbs; 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted; 3 oz (85 g) 70% dark chocolate, chopped; ¼ cup (55 g) unsalted butter; ½ cup (125 ml) clear or golden corn syrup; 2 eggs; 3 tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour; 1 tbsp cocoa powder; ⅓ cup (70 g) sugar; 2 tbsp cornstarch; 1 egg; 1 ½ cups (375 ml) milk; 3 oz (85 g) 70% dark chocolate, chopped; 1 cup (250 ml) 35% whipping cream; 4 tsp sugar; 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla; Chocolate shavings

Preparation

Crust
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) round, 1-inch (2.5 cm) deep tart pan with removable bottom.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
Brownie
- Meanwhile, place the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl. Melt in a microwave oven for 1 minute. Add the corn syrup and eggs. Whisk to combine. Add the flour and cocoa powder. Spread out over the crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges of the brownie are just cooked and the centre is still soft. Let cool completely, about 2 hours.
Chocolate Pastry Cream
- Meanwhile, in a small pot off the heat, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the egg. Mix well. Add the milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, just until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat. Strain through a sieve to remove any lumps, if needed. Add the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate pastry cream into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream. Let cool. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until completely chilled.
- Mix the pastry cream with a spatula until creamy and smooth. Spread over the pie. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Toppings
- When ready to serve, in a bowl, whisk the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pie in a dome shape. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
