Honey Graham Cereal Chocolate Pie

Makes 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces (454 grams) 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3 cups (720 grams) heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 2 tablespoons (24 grams) granulated sugar, divided
  • 4 large egg yolks (74 grams)
  • Honey Graham Cereal Piecrust (recipe follows)
  • Whipped Chocolate Topping (recipe follows)
  • Garnish: crushed honey graham cereal*

Instructions

  • In a medium heatproof bowl, place chocolate.
  • In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup (240 grams) cream and 1 tablespoon (12 grams) sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming and sugar dissolves. (Do not boil.)
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1 tablespoon (12 grams) sugar. Slowly pour hot cream mixture into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan, and cook over medium heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 180°F (82°C). Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain hot cream mixture over chocolate, and let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth and shiny.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat remaining 2 cups (480 grams) cream at high speed until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture until combined. Spoon filling into Honey Graham Cereal Piecrust. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Spoon Whipped Chocolate Topping into a pastry bag fitted with a 1⁄2-inch French star piping tip (Ateco #869). Pipe around edges of pie. Garnish with cereal, if desired.
