Pie Crust
Step 1
Place a piece of parchment onto your work surface and flour it very sparsely.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and the salt.
Step 3
Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse meal.
Step 4
Sprinkle the teaspoon of vinegar and two tablespoons of water over the mixture
Step 5
Mix lightly and quickly with a wooden spoon, adding the remaining tablespoons of water as needed until dough just holds together
Step 6
Place the dough onto the prepared piece of parchment. Cover with an additional piece of parchment and with a rolling pin starting at the center of the dough, roll to the edge, but not over it
Step 7
Continue to roll out from the center, but never back to it every 45 degrees
Step 8
Throughout the process it will be necessary to flour the dough at various times. Gently pull back the top layer of parchment, and very lightly flour the dough. Replace the parchment and carefully turn the dough over, doing the same to the other side
Step 9
Continue rolling and flouring lightly until the dough is an even round circle about 3 inches larger than the rim of the 9-inch pie plate
Step 10
To transfer the dough to the pie plate, gently remove the top layer of parchment. Lightly flour the rolling pin and place it at one edge of the circle. Using the bottom layer of parchment, bring the edge of the dough up over the rolling pin and very lightly roll the pin to the other side of the dough. Move the pie plate under the rolling pin and gently roll the dough out over it. Carefully, fit the dough into the plate and trim any excess, leaving one inch over the rim. Fold the dough under so that it is even with the rim and crimp.
Step 11
Line the inside with a circle of parchment, add uncooked beans or rice to about 2/3 full and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 12
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 13
Bake for 20 minutes. Gently lift the parchment and beans out of the plate and prick the entire crust with a fork. Brush the crust with the egg wash and return to the oven to bake for an additional 15 - 20 minutes until completely golden.
Filling
Step 14
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, cocoa powder and salt
Step 15
Combine the heavy cream and milk in a large measuring cup. Slowly pour into the saucepan while whisking so that no lumps are formed
Step 16
Whisk in the egg yolks
Step 17
Heat over medium until just boiling and mixture thickens
Step 18
Remove from heat and whisk in the chocolate, McCormick Pure Peppermint Extract, and butter until everything is melted and well combined
Step 19
Pour into the baked pie crust. Cover the filling with a piece of plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours
稳定的鲜奶油
Step 20

Step 22
Pipe onto the pie or spread on the top to garnish
Step 23

Back to TopIt looks good, but the ingredients and instructions appear to be wrong so I tracked down the source for those who are curious and want to give it a try: www dot 365daysofbakingandmore dot com/chocolate-peppermint-cream-pie/ It's definitely on my list of things to try. Until then, no rating.

This recipe needs to be revised. The crust calls for vegetable oil, but instructions say shortening!!

your recipe calls for cornstarch, sugar and milk in the instructions for the filling, but they are not listed in the ingredients. it is a bit difficult to make this recipe without the amounts. i was going to guess but ended up just using another chocolate creme filling recipe and adding peppermint extract to it. i did make the stabilized whipped cream which was delish.
