Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 eggs
½ cup sugar
1 ½ cups water
1 pie crust, prepared
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
8 oz chocolate, melted
½ cup butter, cubed
½ cup whipped cream, plus more for garnish
shaved chocolate, to serve
⅔ cup crushed peppermint candies, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • In a medium heat-proof bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric hand mixer until combined.
  • Add the water to a small pot over low heat and rest the bowl on top. Constantly beat the egg mixture on low speed until it reaches 160˚F (71˚C). Remove the bowl from the heat and stir as it cools.
  • Lay a prepared pie crust in a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Lay a sheet of parchment paper over crust and place 4 spoons or dried beans in the center, weighing down the crust.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool.
  • Add the peppermint extract and melted chocolate to the egg mixture. Stir until combined.
  • Gradually beat in the butter until well combined.
  • Gradually fold in the whipped cream until just incorporated.
  • Carefully spoon the filling into the prepared pie crust and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and crushed peppermint candies.
  • Enjoy!
