How to bake Jim N Nicks Chocolate Cream Pie
Begin with the crust
- Mix all ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter.
- Make dough: Add cold water gradually, stirring each time, until you can press it together. Then make a dough, roll it, and make it thick enough to be ready for the pie crust.
- Pie crust decorate: Roll out so that it is slightly larger than a 9? pie plate. Press into the pie plate and up the sides. Try to get as high up the sides as you can as the pie crust may shrink when it bakes. Fold the excess pastry over and tuck it underneath to form a thick edge, crimping or decorating as desired.
- Final process for crust: Poke the bottom and the sides with a fork all over to help prevent puffing. Place a piece of parchment into the pie crust and weigh down with pie weights or dried beans — this will prevent shrinking.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until light golden brown. If desired, remove pie weights and bake until the bottom of the crust is light golden brown, 5-6 minutes.
Set aside to cool while you make the filling (let cool for at least 10 minutes).
Make the pudding:
- Mix all pudding ingredients: In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of cornstarch, and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. Slowly add 2 cups of milk and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate.
- Pour: Pour the pudding into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours,. but a good 6-8 hours is minimum. We want it completely set.
Making the whipped cream:
- Combine all: Combine cream, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer (or whisk by hand). Next, spread whipped cream over the chilled pie.
For Garnish:
- Decorate: Top with chocolate shavings as desired.
Some Special Tips and Tricks for Your Jim N Nicks Chocolate Cream Pie
