Triple Chocolate Tuxedo Pie With Cappuccino Cream Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mountainmama / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago Wonderful chocolate pie! There is a lot of filling, so I put the extra into a store-bought chocolate graham crust and took the other to a party. It's still good in the store bought crust, but it's soooo much better if you make the crust. I'm not good... More Prep:20m Cook:8m Servings:8	Mountainmam

Ingredients

Crust

9 whole chocolate graham crackers

1 tablespoon sugar

Pinch of salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

1 1/4 cups sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup cornstarch

3 1/2 cups half and half

4 large egg yolks

3 1/2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

1 cup chilled whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate-covered espresso beans

Directions

For crust:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind graham crackers, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and blend to moisten crumbs. Firmly press mixture into 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Bake until crust sets, about 8 minutes. Cool.

For filling:

Whisk sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1 cup half and half. Whisk in remaining 2 1/2 cups half and half and yolks. Whisk over medium-high heat until mixture thickens and boils, whisking constantly, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Add both chocolates and butter; whisk until melted and smooth. Mix in vanilla. Transfer filling to crust. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of filling and chill until filling sets, at least 6 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)

For topping:

Beat all ingredients in large bowl until peaks form. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk to thicken before serving, if necessary.)

Peel plastic off pie. Cut pie into wedges. Spoon dollop of cream atop each slice. Garnish with chocolate-covered espresso beans and serve.

I made it have little buttons with the beans and a little bow. ADORABLE

This will fill two crust. Make your own or buy store bought. Tried it both ways either is good. This is a Chocoholics better Dream.

Chill the pie for at least six hours before serving — or make it up to two days ahead.
