Pie crust

• 1 and 1/4 cups premium wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons of sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 110 g butter, very cold, cut into pieces
• 2-3 tablespoons of ice water

Filling

• 170 g dark chocolate, chopped
• 90 g dark chocolate, very finely chopped
• 4 tbsp (60 g) butter, cut into small pieces
• 400 gr. pumpkin puree
• 350 g of condensed milk
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• A pinch of ground cloves
• A pinch of salt
• Chocolate shavings for decoration

Preparation:

1. Prepare the pie crustMix the flour, sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor until smooth and lumpy. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water and process until the dough is crumbly but still comes together when pressed. Transfer the dough to a plastic bag and chill for 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 220°C.
   
   Roll out the dough on a floured surface, then place it in a deep 9-inch (23 cm) pan. Trim the edges, leaving a 1/4-inch (2 cm) overhang, fold the edges under, and create decorative grooves. Cut a piece of parchment paper or foil to the size of the pie crust. Fill with pastry weights or dried beans and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and continue baking for another 8 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to 160°C.
   
   Prepare the fillingMelt the dark chocolate, bittersweet chocolate, and butter in a double boiler, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from heat.
4. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, condensed milk, brown sugar, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture. Pour the filling into the crust.
   
   Bake the pie until the center is almost set and still jiggly, about 1 hour. Let cool completely before serving. Garnish the chocolate pumpkin pie with chocolate shavings.
