Description

A rich and silky chocolate cream pie infused with stout and topped with fluffy toasted meringue. This dessert delivers deep cocoa flavor, subtle roasted notes, and a crisp chocolate crust for the perfect balance of texture and indulgence.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup stout beer
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly coated.
  3. Press mixture firmly into a 9 inch pie pan covering bottom and sides. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool completely.
  4. In a saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup of the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in milk, heavy cream, and stout until smooth.
  5. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened. Stir in chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth.
  6. Lightly beat egg yolks. Slowly temper with a ladle of hot mixture, then return to saucepan and cook briefly until thick and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  7. Pour filling into cooled crust and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.
  8. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat to glossy stiff peaks.
  9. Spread meringue over chilled pie, sealing to the crust edges.
  10. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes until meringue peaks are golden. Cool slightly, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Use high quality dark chocolate with at least 60 percent cocoa for best flavor.
  • Make sure egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume.
  • Chill completely before slicing for clean layers.
