This chocolate pie tastes really good as a chilled dessert with seasonal berries and whipped cream or ice-cream.
The pastry shell can be bought from your local supermarket for a couple of dollars, or can be made using a short crust pastry mix.
SERVINGS: Serves 8-12
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ready-made pie or tart crust

- 115g (4 oz./1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 455g (16 oz.) Best quality cooking chocolate, broken up into small chunks

METHOD:
- Place double cream, sugar, and pinch of salt in pan and bring to a boil.
- As soon as the mixture has boiled, remove from heat and add butter and chocolate.
- Stir until it has completely melted.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- While cooling, stir in at least 3/4 of the cold milk until smooth and shiny.
- Sometimes this mixture looks like a split.
- Allow mixture to cool down some and whisk in the rest of the cold milk until smooth. (If extra milk is needed that is okay).
