Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 140 g unsalted butter (cold)
  • 113 g unsalted butter (for filling)
  • 56 g bittersweet chocolate
  • 21 g Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 113 g whole milk
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 106 g dark brown sugar
  • 25 g cornmeal
  • 4 eggs (room temp)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie crust by combining flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then add ice water to form a dough. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough and fit it into a pie pan, pricking the bottom with a fork. Bake for about 20 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. For the filling, melt unsalted butter and bittersweet chocolate together over low heat. In another bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt, whole milk, sugars, cornmeal, eggs, and vanilla extract before folding in the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Pour the filling into the baked crust and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 60-70 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely before slicing.
