Easter Chocolate Pie
This is totally decadent - but perfectly chocolately for Easter! It travels well so is great for a picnic or a trip to the Bach over the long weekend!
Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 200 g milk arrowroot biscuits smashed or processed to crumbs
- 1/4 cup whole milk powder

Instructions
-
Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. As the butter begin to melt stir in the chocolate until you get a lovely glossy mixture.
-
Whisk together the eggs and sugar until they are pale and at ribbon stage (when you can lift the mixture with a spoon and make a figure 8 with the mixture falling back into the batter and resting briefly on the top like a ribbon)
-
Add the chocolate and butter into the batter and stir until it completely blends together
-
Gently stir in the flour and cocoa.
-
Add in the cream and stir until all is incorporated and the mixture is all one colour.
-
Assemble and Cook
-
Heat the over to 180C

Remove the pie crust from the fridge and carefully pour the chocolate mixture into the crust.
-
Bake the pie in the oven for around 25 - 30 minutes - until the centre is cooked through.
-
Cool the pie and dust with icing sugar to serve (or drizzle with white chocolate!)
