Ingredients:
1 1/4 Cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1/4 Cup powdered sugar
1/4 Teaspoon salt
7 Tablespoons (100 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
2-4 Tablespoons cold water
1 egg white
1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
6 Ounce high-quality dark chocolate (60% cacao), broken into pieces
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large egg yolks
1/2 Cup reduced-fat milk
1/2 Cup plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
2 Tablespoons white whole-wheat flour
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
Preparation:
Prepare dough according to these directions: whole-wheat pie crust recipe.
While crust is cooling, prepare the filling. Place chocolate and butter in a large saucepan. Slowly melt over low heat, stirring often.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and yogurt, then add the milk. Add the flour and whisk well to combine.
When chocolate is melted, turn heat off. Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture (about 2 tablespoons), whisking constantly. Keep pouring the egg mixture, slowly, whisking, until incorporated.
Sift the powdered sugar through a fine-mesh strainer into the chocolate-egg mixture. Whisk until everything is well-incorporated.
Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees F, shielding the crust with foil strips if you need to bake longer than 45 minutes. Pie is ready when the center is slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean. Cool 2 hours in pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
