Chocolate Custard Pie Recipe With Cocoa
Description
Chocolate custard pie is a classic dessert that is rich, creamy, and packed with chocolate flavor. This version has cocoa powder added in for an extra dose of chocolatey goodness! The pie crust is made from scratch and is lightly sweetened, providing the perfect balance for the creamy custard filling. The result is a classic pie that will be a hit at any gathering. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a beautiful presentation.
Ingredients
For the crust:
-1 cup all-purpose flour
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
-3 tablespoons ice-cold water
For the filling:
-3/4 cup sugar
-1/4 cup cocoa powder
-1/8 teaspoon salt
-3 large eggs
-2 cups whole milk
-1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter and set aside.
2. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cold water and stir until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into an 11-inch round and transfer it to the prepared pie pan. Trim the edges of the dough and flute the edges. Prick the bottom of the dough several times with a fork and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
3. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the sugar mixture until completely combined. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and bake for 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and no longer jiggles. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before serving.

Notes
Be sure to use cold butter and ice-cold water when making the crust, as this will help to ensure a flaky crust. If the crust browns too quickly, cover it with foil and continue baking until done. The custard should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when done.
