  3. Shape dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least one hour, or up to 2 days.
  4. On a lightly floured surk surface, roll pate sucrée to 1/8 inch thickness. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Tuck overhang under dough, so edges are flush with rim, and crimp edges. Lightly prick bottom of dough with a fork. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F Line dough with parchment, and fill with weights or dried beans. Bake until edges begin to look dry, 20-22 minutes. Carefully remove weights and parchment. Bake until crust is darker round edges and bottom looks dry, 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Chocolate crust can be stored overnight.

  10. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Let custard cool in saucepan in a wire rack, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
  11. Pour custard into chocolate crust. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of custard. Refrigerate until custard filliing is chilled and firm, at least 4 hours, or overnight.

  13. Prepare an ice-water bath. heat sugar, water, and pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  14. Cook, without stirring, until mixture is amber. (Do not let caramel burn). Carefully pour in 1/2 cup cream in a slow, steady stream, down the side of ther saucepan, whisking contantly, until smooth (caramel will bubble).
  15. Remove from heat, and place saucepan in an ice-water bath. Let caramel mixture cool, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 20 minutes.
  16. Whisk remaining 3/4 cup cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold caramel into whipped cream, and whisk until stiff peaks form.
