Instructions
Step 1
Start by finely grinding the cookies and then mixing them with the melted unsalted butter. Ensure that all the cookie crumbs are coated evenly.
Press the mixture into the base of a tart pan, spreading it out evenly, and place it in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 10 minutes to set.
Step 2
While the crust is baking, bring the heavy cream to a gentle boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and unsalted butter.
Stir this mixture until smooth and well combined. Then, add in the large eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3
Once the crust is ready, pour the chocolate filling over it. Make sure to spread the filling evenly in the tart pan.
Bake the tart at 150°C (300°F) for 20-30 minutes. The edges should be set but the center should have a slight jiggle.
Step 4
Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature.
Refrigerate it for at least 4 hours before slicing to allow it to firm up. This waiting period enhances the flavors, making it even more delightful!
Enjoy your delicious chocolate tart!
Servings

- ☕ For an adult twist, drizzle a shot of espresso or a splash of coffee liqueur over your slice to enhance the chocolate notes.

Variations
- 🌾 **Gluten-Free Chocolate Pie**: Swap traditional biscuits for gluten-free alternatives made from almond flour or oat flour. Ensure your chocolate is also certified gluten-free!
- 🌱 **Vegan Chocolate Pie**: Substitute the eggs with a flaxseed meal or applesauce for binding, and use coconut milk or almond milk instead of cream for a creamy filling. Opt for dark chocolate that’s dairy-free.
- 🥥 For a tropical twist, consider adding some shredded coconut into the crust for additional texture and flavor!
Faq
- What type of chocolate should I use for the filling?
Using high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more) gives the best flavor. Feel free to play around with milk chocolate for a sweeter pie.
- How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
Look for the edges to be set while the center slightly jiggles. It will continue to cook as it cools down!
- I’m an intermediate baker. Can I add flavors to the filling?
Absolutely! You can infuse flavors like orange zest or peppermint extract into the chocolate mixture for a unique twist!
- What if my pie crust is too crumbly?
You might not have added enough melted butter. Ensure that the biscuit mixture is fully moistened before pressing into the pan!
- As an experienced baker, what’s the best way to store leftovers?
Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. It can last for up to 5 days, but trust me, it'll be gone before then!
- Can I freeze the chocolate pie?
Yes, it freezes well! Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
