Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups gingersnap crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin, (1 package)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F.
- For the crust: In a small bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs, butter and granulated sugar. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 6 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
- For the filling: In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup cool water and let sit for 5 minutes until the gelatin softens and blooms.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the milk, cocoa powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the salt to a simmer, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Put the egg yolks in a medium bowl and beat lightly. Gradually, in a slow stream, add 1/4 cup of the chocolate mixture to the egg yolks while whisking constantly. Pour the chocolate-yolk mixture into the pan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Let cool until barely warm, about 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the vanilla and whip to stiff peaks. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the meringue in three additions.
- Spoon the chocolate mixture into the cooled pie crust. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- For the topping: Whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Place dollops of whipped cream on the pie and grate the chocolate on top, if desired.
