Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package pie crust store-bought or homemade
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 8 oz dark chocolate chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
  • Blind bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and milk. Heat until steaming but not boiling.
  • Remove from heat and add chopped dark chocolate. Stir until smooth.
  • Whisk in the sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, vanilla extract, and salt.
  • In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly whisk in a small amount of the warm chocolate mixture to temper the eggs.
  • Gradually add the tempered eggs back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
  • Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly wobbly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
  • Spice Level: Adjust cayenne pepper to taste for a milder or spicier kick.
  • Serving Suggestion: Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant touch.
