CHOCOLATE CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450'F Bake pie crust for about 8 minutes, or until just golden.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer until smooth.
• 3. In a small sauce pan bring the heavy cream to a scald. Pour 8 ounces of your 10 ounce chopped chocolate into the scalded cream. Add vanilla to cream chocolate mixture and stir until completely melted.
• 4. Meanwhile in a small bowl, whisk eggs yolks until smooth. Then add your flour to your egg yolks one 1/2 tablespoon at a time until completely smooth.
• 5. With a whisk, slowly pour hot chocolate cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking the entire time! (The hot chocolate and cream will cook the egg yolks. Whisking will keep the yolks from clumping and making you an omelet..eww!)
• 6. Let chocolate egg yolk mixture to cool completely!!!! (Can not emphasis this more. Pop it in the freezer for 10 minutes if you have to, just make sure it isn't hot!)
• 7. Pour chocolate mixture into butter sugar mixture and beat with a hand mixer on high for 4-5 minutes. This is your chocolate custard!!! :-D
• 8. Spread your chocolate custard filling into the 9 inch pie crust.
• 9. Top the filling with the remaining chopped chocolate.
• 10. Spoon whipped topping on top of the filling and spread out evenly. I dusted the top of the pie with cocoa powder because it was pretty!
• 11. Chill for 3 hours before serving. (Again, I froze the pie. If you like frozen custard, this pie rocks frozen!!! Just a little harder to cut.)

• Pour custard into a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring continually, until slightly boiling but not popping, about 5 minutes. Cook just until reasonably thickened, 3 to 5 minutes more, and remove from heat immediately. Stir hot custard to smooth out any lumps and pour into the pre-baked pie shell.

• Beat egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until peaks start to form. Spread the thick meringue mixture on top of the custard.
• Cook under the preheated broiler just until the peaks start to turn light brown, 1 to 2 minutes, being very careful not to let the meringue burn.

CHOCOLATE CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Bring cream and milk to a simmer; if using the vanilla, add it after the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat, add the chocolate, and whish until it is melted. Let the chocolate mixture cool until it is lukewarm, then whisk in the egg until it is thoroughly blended. Put the apricot preserves into the pie crust, and spread the preserves all over the bottom of the crust. Pour the custard into the pie crust, and bake in a 375° oven about 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is almost set but still trembling in the center. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Prepare crust: Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor 3 to 4 times or until combined. Add butter and shortening and pulse 10 to 12 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water over mixture; pulse 5 to 6 times or until dough clumps together, adding up to 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary. Gently shape dough into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roll dough into a 12-inch circle (about 1/8 inch thick) on a floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate; turn edges under and crimp. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Line pastry with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Remove pie weights and parchment paper and continue to bake until lightly browned and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack and cool while preparing filling.
• Prepare filling: Whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a large saucepan. Whisk together heavy cream, milk, and egg yolks in a medium bowl until completely blended. Gradually whisk egg mixture into sugar mixture.
• Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, just until mixture begins to boil, 6 to 8 minutes. Cook for 1 more minute, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in semisweet chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, butter, and vanilla until chocolate and butter have melted and mixture is completely smooth.
• Spread filling in the cooled crust. Place plastic wrap directly on the warm filling and chill in the refrigerator until set, 8 to 24 hours.
• Prepare topping: Beat heavy cream and vanilla at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar, beating until soft peaks form.

FLAN PATISSIER (FRENCH CUSTARD PIE)

Steps:

• For the pastry, combine flour, butter, potato starch, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and process until it has the consistency of sand.
• Combine milk and egg yolk in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and mix by hand until the mixture is evenly moistened. Do not overwork the pastry. Wrap pastry dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
• For the filling, combine milk, 1/2 of the sugar and split and scraped vanilla bean in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat once milk boils.
• While the milk is heating, whisk eggs and remaining sugar in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in cream and cornstarch, and whisk until well blended.
• Whisk egg mixture into the cooled milk, stirring constantly.
• Return everything back into the saucepan and bring to the boil over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent eggs from setting. As soon as custard begins to thicken, remove from heat and whisk constantly for a few minutes while it cools.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove pastry from the refrigerator. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to cover the bottom and sides of the springform pan. Line a springform pan and sides with the pastry and pierce several times with a fork. Store in the refrigerator until filling is cooled down enough.
• Briefly beat cooled pastry cream with an electric mixer to smooth it out. Pour into the pastry shell and even out the surface with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Increase temperature to 470 degrees F (240 degrees C) for an additional 10 minutes to brown the surface, making sure the custard does not burn. To speed up browning the top you can also place on a rack closer to the top.
• Remove pie from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate cooled custard pie for 4 hours before serving.
• To unmold, run the blade of a knife along the inside of the mold, to loosen the flan. Then carefully remove the ring off from the springform pan.
