Crust

Chantilly Cream

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cold water until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll and Bake the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and eggs until smooth. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  2. 4

    Bake the Pie

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Let cool completely before serving.

Chantilly Cream Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Chantilly Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Pie

    Slice the pie and serve it topped with a generous dollop of chantilly cream.
