Ingredients

  • 200g cornstarch biscuits or chocolate biscuits

  • 100g melted butter

  • 500ml of milk

  • 3 gems

  • 100g of sugar

  • 40g corn starch

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

  • 200ml of fresh cream

  • 2 tablespoons of sugar

  • 100g semisweet chocolate (chopped)

Directions

  • Start by preparing the pie base. 
    Grind the cookies in a blender or processor until you form a fine crumb. 
    Add the melted butter and mix well until you get a wet dough.
  • Line the base of a pie pan with the biscuit dough, pressing with your hands to compact it. 
    Book in the fridge while preparing the cream.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to boil.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch until smooth.
  • When the milk is hot, pour it slowly over the mixture of yolks, sugar and starch, stirring constantly to prevent the yolks from cooking.
  • Return the mixture to the pan and place over medium-low heat. 
    Cook, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens and reaches the consistency of pastry cream.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla essence. 
    Stir well and let the cream cool completely.
  • Pour the cream over the biscuit base in the mold, spreading it out evenly.
  • Take the pie to the fridge and let it firm for at least 2 hours.
  • For the frosting, beat the fresh cream with the sugar until you get firm peaks.
  • Take the pie out of the fridge and cover it with the whipped cream.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave and spread it over the whipped cream.
  • Return the pie to the refrigerator for a few more hours, until the chocolate is set.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!
