Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 75 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% or higher), chopped
- 100 grams unsalted butter (for filling)
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- shaved chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup to compact the crust evenly.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then set it aside to cool slightly.
In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), melt the dark chocolate and 100 grams of butter together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract together until fully combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the melted chocolate, whisking constantly to ensure the eggs don’t curdle. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly wobbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream and shaved chocolate for extra indulgence.
