This is the traditional 'pie' version of the Mississippi mud pie recipe in that the sweet, creamy, filling is baked inside a pastry shell.
Ingredients:
300g
Sweet Shortcrust Pastry Dough (enough for a flan case about 22cm in diameter and 4cm deep)
50g butter, diced
150g dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa solids), chopped
1 tsp dark instant
coffee
3 eggs
250g caster sugar
2 tbsp soured cream
3 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
chocolate curls for decoration
Method:
Roll out the pastry on a lightly-floured surface until large enough to cover the inside of the flan case. Trim off the excess and store in the refrigerator until needed.
Meanwhile, gently melt the butter in a small saucepan then remove from the heat and stir-in the chocolate, and instant coffee. Continue stirring until the chocolate has dissolved and all the ingredients have combined then set aside to cool.
Crack the eggs into a bowl then beat together with the sugar until the mixture is creamy before adding the soured cream, golden syrup and vanilla extract. Stir to mix then combine with the chocolate mixture.
Pour the resultant filling into the pastry shell and place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and the filling puffs-up and forms a crust on top.
Set on a wire rack to cool (don't worry if the filling sinks and cracks a little, this is normal) and when ready to serve decorate the top of the pie with chocolate curls and serve generous slices with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
