Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Custard Pie 🥮

  • Effortless: Everything goes into one bowl, and the magic happens in the oven. No pastry-making stress! That’s the beauty of chocolate custard pie—it’s as simple as it is delicious.

  • Perfect for Any Occasion: Whether it’s a family dessert or a dinner party finale, chocolate custard pie is always a hit with its rich and satisfying flavours.

  • Rich & Creamy: The blend of chocolate, cream, and butter gives this chocolate custard pie a velvety texture you won’t forget.

  • Classic Aussie Comfort: This dessert is like a warm hug with a chocolate twist.

 

The beauty lies in its simplicity. The batter separates during baking, creating its own layers—giving you a crust-like base with a velvety custard filling. The best part? There’s no fussing with pastry or rolling dough. You just mix, pour, bake, and enjoy! 🍰

Tips & Tricks for the Best Chocolate Custard Pie 🧑‍🍳

  1. Use Good-Quality Chocolate 🍫
    The better the chocolate, the more indulgent the pie. Go for at least 70% dark chocolate for that deep cocoa flavour. If you prefer milk chocolate, the sweetness will be a bit more pronounced—perfect if you’ve got a sweet tooth!
  2. Room-Temperature Eggs 🥚
    Using eggs straight from the fridge can affect how well everything mixes. Let them sit out for 15 minutes before baking for the smoothest batter.
  3. Don’t Overbake! ⏲️
    You’re aiming for a slight jiggle in the centre when you pull it out of the oven. Overbaking will firm up the custard too much, and we want it nice and silky.
  4. Line Your Pie Dish with Baking Paper 📄
    This makes it super easy to lift the pie out, and the cleanup is a breeze too.
  5. Chill Before Serving ❄️
    While the pie is delicious warm, it’s even better chilled. Let it rest in the fridge for at least two hours for that perfect, creamy texture.

Serving and Pairing Ideas 🍨

  • Top with Whipped Cream: A dollop of freshly whipped cream will balance out the richness of the chocolate.
  • Add Berries for a Tangy Twist 🍓: Strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries cut through the sweetness perfectly.
  • Sprinkle with Icing Sugar: A light dusting of icing sugar adds a pretty finishing touch.

Storage Tips

This Chocolate Custard Pie is fantastic for making ahead! Here’s how to store it properly:

  1. Refrigerate: Once baked and cooled, cover it with cling wrap or foil and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  2. Freeze: Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and pop them in a freezer-safe container. Defrost in the fridge overnight when ready to eat.
  3. Serve Cold or Warm: While it’s divine chilled, you can always warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if you prefer it warm and gooey.
