We take the chocolate tart with custard to a whole new level by adding peppermint extract to the filling and whipped cream topping. A dusting of red decorative sugar transforms this dessert into a truly Christmasy treat.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Cake:

    Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Process the cookies and granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and process until smooth.
  2. Lightly spray a 9-inch (22 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray. Spread the crushed cookie mixture into the pan and press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake until the crust is just beginning to set but not quite set, about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling.:

    In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the milk until it begins to simmer, then remove from the heat. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Gradually whisk one-third of the hot milk into the egg mixture, then pour into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the custard begins to bubble and thicken, about 3 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring, until the custard is thick and pudding-like, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, then whisk in all of the chocolate and butter. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate until set, about 1.5 hours.
  4. Just before serving, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and peppermint extract with a mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form. Top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with red sugar.
