Salted Chocolate Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and espresso powder.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

   Tip: Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification.

3. 3

   Melt the salted chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.

   Tip: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

4. 4

   Whisk the heavy cream into the chocolate until well combined.

   Tip: This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.

5. 5

   Pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix, or the filling will become too dense.

6. 6

   Pour the filling into a prebaked pie crust and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth surface.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips on top of the filling in a random pattern.

   Tip: This will create a beautiful and unique design.

8. 8

   Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the chocolate chips.

   Tip: This will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the pie.

9. 9

   Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.

   Tip: Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the top if desired.

10. 10

    Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

    Tip: This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
