Pumpkin Pie Recipe (with a Chocolate Crust)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350˚F.

Step 2

In a large bowl mix combine chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter until fully mixed together.

Step 3

Place a 9” pie dish or tart shell onto a baking sheet and pour in wafer mixture. Press mixture both evenly and firmly on the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate crust until ready to use.

Step 4

Combine all filling ingredients into a large bowl.

Step 5

Whisk together until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the prepared crust and carefully transfer into the lowest rack of the oven.

Step 7

Bake for 55 to 70 minutes or until the filling has set, but is slightly loose in the middle. Remove from oven and allow pie to cool completely, about 2 hours.

Step 8

Pour cream, sugar and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl and beat together using an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 9

Generously top pie with whipped cream and finish with chocolate shavings.
