Ingredients:
3 tablespoon(s) cornstarch |
2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt |
1 cup(s) sugar divided |
3 cup(s) half-and-half |
6 egg yolks |
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract |
1 (9 oz) package(s) chocolate wafer cookies |
1/2 (4 oz) semisweet chocolate baking bar chopped |
1/2 cup(s) butter melted |
1 quart(s) fresh strawberries |
1/4 cup(s) red currant jelly |
1 tablespoon(s) orange liqueur |
Directions:
1. Whisk together first 3 ingredients and 2/3 cup sugar in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Whisk together half-and-half and next 2 ingredients in a small bowl; gradually add to cornstarch mixture, whisking constantly.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, and transfer to a bowl; cover and chill 4 to 24 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse wafer cookies and chopped chocolate in a food processor 8 to 10 times or until finely crushed. Stir together cookie crumb mixture, melted butter and remaining 1/3 cup sugar; firmly press mixture on bottom, up sides, and onto lip of a lightly greased 9-inch pie plate.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
5. Spoon chilled half-and-half mixture into prepared crust. Cut 8 to 10 strawberries in half, and arrange around outer edge of pie; hull and slice remaining strawberries, and arrange in center of pie.
6. Cook jelly in a small saucepan over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, or until melted. Remove from heat, and stir in liqueur. Brush jelly mixture gently over strawberries. Chill, uncovered, 30 minutes.
