Chocolate Espresso Pie with Whipped Cream & Candied Pistachios
Title
  • 2 Pie Crusts
  • 1 cup Espresso Pastry Cream
  • ¾ cup Cream
  • 4 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Tbsps Roasted Pistachios
  • 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup

Chocolate Espresso Pie

Bake the pie shells
1 Bake the pie shells

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 375°F. Place the pie crusts on a sheet pan, leaving them in their tins. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer to a cooling rack and let stand about 10 minutes, or until room temperature.  

2 Make the filling & set the pies

Once the crusts have cooled about 5 minutes, in a bowl, combine the chocolate chips, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of water. Working in 30 second increments, microwave on high, stirring in between, until melted and smooth (or melt in a small pot on the stove, then transfer to a bowl). Add the espresso pastry cream; whisk to combine. Divide the filling between the cooled pie crusts and spread into an even layer. Refrigerate about 2 hours (or overnight), or until set and chilled.

3 Make the candied pistachios

While the pies set, roughly chop the pistachios. Line a plate with parchment paper (or lightly grease). In a small nonstick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped pistachios. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Add the maple syrup. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the pistachios are coated. Transfer to the plate; spread into an even layer to avoid sticking. Immediately season with salt. Set aside to cool. (If storing overnight, store in an airtight container with the parchment.)

4 Make the whipped cream & serve your dish

(If you refrigerated the pie overnight, remove from the fridge at least 1 hour before serving to bring to room temperature.) When ready to serve, place the cream (shaking the packet before opening) in a medium bowl (or the bowl of stand mixer). Whisk constantly, 2 to 3 minutes (if using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on high about 2 minutes), or until stiff peaks form. Serve the set pies topped with the whipped cream and candied pistachios. Enjoy!
