This was one that everyone was waiting for, and by far the most popular choice for the month of April. Almost everyone loves chocolate, especially in a creamy custard, set into a flaky crust and topped with lots of cream and more chocolate!
Custard is one of my favorite things to make, so I was also looking forward to this pie. I made a crust that was slightly sweetened and very slightly chocolate by adding a little sugar and cocoa powder. The crust ended up being more tender due to the sugar, which nicely supported the weight of the custard, and the flavor was mild and perfect. I did not want to have a strong chocolate crust with the chocolate filling, because it could easily be too much of a good thing.
The custard was cool, smooth, chocolate perfection which I topped with freshly whipped cream. Standardly, this pie is topped with chocolate curls. However, I do not like eating the curls and am of the opinion that it is too much, so I decided to smooth the cream and then make a design on top of the pie using chocolate sauce. I was really pleased with the result.
This pie was delicious, satisfying and wonderful! I will definitely make it again, and again.
