It's November! Who says November says holiday season says chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! So I made a chocolate pie. And I’m sure you too will make one ;)

Step 1

You can prepare the dough either in a food processor or by hand :) Start by sanding 70g of soft butter with 180g of flour.

Step 2

Then add the 20g of cocoa powder, the salt, 70g of powdered sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 egg. Do not over mix.

Step 3

Form a ball, flatten it slightly, cover it with cling film, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

After the resting time, roll out the dough on a floured work surface, ideally not too thinly.

Step 5

Butter your pie pan, and spread the dough on it.

Step 6

Prick the entire dough with a fork.

Step 7

Leave it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

You can then pre-bake your pie for about ten minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. I used little balls made especially for pre-baking my pie crust, but if you don't have any you can use dried beans or dried chickpeas, or anything else that can make a weight. Don't forget to put a little bit of food paper on your dough so it doesn't stick :)

Step 9

Let cool after cooking.

Step 10

Meanwhile, melt 200g of dark chocolate, and leave aside.

Step 11

Then heat 100ml of milk with 200ml of liquid cream for a few minutes.

Step 12

Once it's hot, pour it over your melted chocolate.

Step 13

Mix gently.

Step 14

Then add 1 beaten egg, and mix a second time.

Step 15

You can then pour your chocolate mixture into your pie crust.

Step 16

And put it back in the oven for about 15 minutes at 190 degrees Celsius. The baking time depends on your oven, but you can take your pie out when you see bubbles forming around the pie, and it is slightly soft in the middle.

Step 17

Tadaaa! I advise you to leave it in the refrigerator for a few hours or even overnight before eating it, the chocolate cream will be better!

Step 18

I used whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top to decorate :) It’s ready! Enjoy!
