Pie with peaches and chocolate
Delicious pie, but more suited for chocolate lovers, as the chocolate flavor dominates the peaches flavor considerably. I would have reduced the amount of chocolate for myself, but my husband liked this version - chocolatey, rich, with a slight hint of fruit. Recipe from the magazine "Gastronom'".
Compound (for a 25-27 cm mold):
Dough:
- flour – 175 gr.
- butter – 100 gr.
- egg yolk – 1 pc.
- sugar – 2 tbsp.
- salt – 1 pinch
cream:
- egg – 1 piece .
- cream (35%) – 200 ml
- egg yolk – 1 piece .
filling:
- sugar – 2 tbsp.
- dark chocolate (70% cocoa) – 100 gr.
- peaches – 3 pcs. (canned ones are possible) .
Preparation of pie with peaches and chocolate:
Cut the cooled butter into cubes and beat it with the egg yolk, sugar and salt into crumbs.
Add 1 tbsp cold water and the sifted flour and knead the dough. (If the dough is too crumbly, add a little more water).
Add a little more water.
Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
If you use fresh peaches, peel them from their skins. In case the peaches are not very ripe and the skin is reluctant to peel, dip the fruit for 15 seconds in boiling water and then immediately in very cold water. After that, the skins will peel off easily.
If using canned peaches, remove them from the syrup and let them dry slightly.
Slice the peaches into thin slices.
Roll the dough into a thin layer and place in an oiled, low-sided mold, covering the bottom and sides, and press down lightly with your hands. Alternatively, simply spread the dough over the mold with your hands to form the sides.
Prick the dough with a fork and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the cream, beat the egg, egg yolk and cream with a whisk.
Grate the chocolate and sprinkle it over the pastry. If you want the chocolate flavor to be less dominant, reduce the amount of chocolate.
Arrange peach slices on top.
Fill the peaches with the cream.
Send the pie to a preheated 200 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees, sprinkle the pie with sugar, and bake for another 20 minutes.
Remove the finished pie from the oven, cool for 10 minutes in the mold and slice.
Enjoy!"
