Chocolate Brandy Pie
Ingredients:
– 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
– 3 large egg yolks
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup brandy
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Whipped cream, for serving
– Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to melt, then stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and slightly thickened. Slowly pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
3. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it come to a boil.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the brandy and vanilla extract. Let the filling cool for a few minutes.
5. Pour the chocolate brandy filling into the pre-baked pie crust and spread it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
6. To serve, top the pie with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch. Slice and enjoy the rich, velvety goodness of this Chocolate Brandy Pie.
