Gluten Free Bistro's Pie Crust:

1 cup Gluten Free Bistro All Purpose Flour (www.theglutenfreebistro.com)

1/2 cup sweet rice flour

8 tbs unsalted butter

2.5 tbs sugar

1 egg

2 tbs ice water



Chocolate Filling:

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs, beaten

3/4 cup evaporated milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Whipped cream, for serving



Pie Crust:

In a food processor or  bowl of a standing mixer, mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add egg and ice water until dough starts to form together. Remove from bowl and form into a ball. Place between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten to about a 5" disk. Refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes.

Roll out chilled dough into a 10" circle. Transfer to pie plate and remove wax paper.  Finish edges.

**(if you have extra pie crust roll out and cut into shapes with cookie cutters.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, bake for about 10
minutes. Use this for decoration)



Chocolate Filling:

In a bowl, whisk the sugar with the cocoa powder, butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla and salt until smooth

Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake for 45- 50 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges but a little jiggly in the center. Cover the crust with strips of foil halfway through baking. Transfer
the pie to a rack and let cool completely before cutting into wedges. Serve with whipped cream.
