#Chocolate cream pie crack
Reduce the heat to 325☏ and bake until puffed and just beginning to crack (about 25 minutes). Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust, using a rubber spatula to smooth out the filling. Remove the pie crust from the oven and take out the aluminum foil and beans/rice.Gently fold in the remaining 2/3 of the egg mixture. Fold 1/3 of the egg mixture along with the chocolate extract and espresso powder into the chocolate until well mixed. Beat the eggs, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.Stir until homogenous and remove from the heat. Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring in one direction (this will prevent the mixture from splitting). While the crust blind bakes, prepare the filling.Line the crust with a piece of aluminum foil and pour in dried rice or beans to line the aluminum foil. Prepare your homemade pie crust or take the premade crust and use a fork to make indentations in the bottom of the crust (this allows air to escape from the crust and prevents bubbles from forming).It isn’t called called chocolate CREAM pie for nothing! Go heavy on the whipped cream: You’re going for a 1:1 ratio here.Use high quality chocolate: Chocolate is such an important flavor in this pie, so don’t try to get away with using the cheap kind.Only stir the filling in one direction: This will prevent the the butter and chocolate from splitting!.Blind bake your crust before pouring the filling in to get a crisp and well cooked bottom! Blind bake the pie crust: No one likes a soggy pie crust (okay, confession I sort of do, but that’s a story for another time).

Espresso powder enhances chocolate flavor, to give chocolate an even deeper, richer, tastier flavor profile that will leave everyone smacking their lips, asking what your secret ingredient is.Īnd you can tell them that your secret ingredient is DeLallo Instant Espresso Baking Powder 🙂Įvery time we post a recipe on the blog calling for instant espresso powder we get tons of questions asking which brand we recommend, and this is it!

If you’re not using espresso powder in your chocolate baked goods yet you are seriously missing out. Sprinkle that with some of chocolate shavings and ooooh baby, you are in for a treat.
