Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 3 Tbsp ice water
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 3 Tbsp sour cream or crème fraîche
  • Chocolate shavings for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Work in cold butter until pea-sized, then gradually add ice water and shape dough into a disk. Refrigerate for at least an hour, then roll out and fit into a pie plate. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Make the custard: Combine milk and 2 1/4 cups heavy cream in a pot and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, add chopped chocolates until melted. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt. Temper yolks with chocolate mixture, then strain into a measuring cup. Pour into pie crust and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 35-40 minutes until set.
  3. Cool and chill: Allow pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Whip the cream: Whip remaining cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then fold in sour cream. Top pie with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
