Ingredients:
For The Crust:
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
½ tsp white granulated sugar
2 tbsp cold water
A pinch of salt
For The Filling:
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream
1 tbsp coffee liqueur
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
For The Crust:
Combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor bowl.
Add the cold, diced butter to the mixture. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the cold water while continuing to pulse until a crumbly dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and gently knead it once or twice to bring it together.
Wrap the dough tightly in cling film and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
Remove from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften slightly.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
Lay the rolled dough over a lightly greased pie pan and trim off any excess around the edges.
Press the dough firmly against the sides of the pan. Set aside.
For The Filling:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder. Set aside.
Melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the heavy cream and coffee liqueur, stirring to incorporate.
Lightly beat the egg and egg yolks together in a separate bowl, then slowly add to the chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
Gently fold in the sifted flour and cocoa powder mixture along with a pinch of salt.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pie is set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set.
