Zubereitung von Chocolate Chiffon Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a baking sheet on the oven rack.
- **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Prepare the chocolate:** Chop 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate into small pieces. Grind the chocolate using a food processor or blender until finely ground. Set aside.
- **Make the custard:** In the top of a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, combine 2 cups whole milk and 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
- Add ⅓ cup granulated sugar, the ground chocolate, and 4 large egg yolks to the milk mixture. Stir constantly until the sugar and chocolate are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Place the top of the double boiler in a bowl of ice water and stir constantly until the mixture is completely cool and slightly thickened (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from ice bath and set aside.
- **Whip the cream:** In a large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- **Whip the egg whites:** In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add ⅓ cup granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold a spoonful of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate custard to lighten it. Then, pour the chocolate mixture into the remaining egg whites and gently fold until just combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until evenly distributed.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled pie crust.
- Freeze for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- If the center sinks slightly, fill with any remaining mixture.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
- **Garnish:** Decorate with whipped cream and chocolate curls before serving.
