Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 4-6 tbsp ice water
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 4 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
  • 6 oz high-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp clarified butter
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour and chilled, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough just comes together. Tip: Handle the dough as little as possible to ensure a flaky crust.
  3. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, trim the edges, and crimp. Chill for 30 minutes.
  4. Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment, and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. Tip: Blind baking prevents a soggy bottom.
  5. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk a cup of the hot mixture into the beaten eggs to temper, then return all to the saucepan. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.
  7. Off the heat, stir in the chopped chocolate, clarified butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the pre-baked crust.
  8. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. Tip: For a glossy finish, lightly press plastic wrap onto the filling’s surface before chilling.
