Chocolate Cream Pie
A lightened take on classic chocolate cream pie: a thin buttery shortcrust shell holds a silky cornstarch-thickened chocolate custard, finished with tangy whipped Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream and a scatter of fresh raspberries for fibre and brightness.

Instructions
1
Make the crust
rub cold cubed butter into the sifted flour and salt until it resembles coarse crumbs, then bind with iced water into a dough. Chill 20 minutes.
2
Roll the dough thin and line 2 x 8cm individual tart tins; prick the bases, chill 10 minutes, then blind-bake at 190°C for 12-14 minutes until pale gold. Cool on a wire rack.
3
Whisk cornstarch, sugar and cocoa powder together in a saucepan, then gradually whisk in the skim milk until smooth.
4
Set over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens and just starts to bubble, about 5-6 minutes.
5
Temper the beaten egg yolk with a ladle of the hot chocolate mixture, then stir back into the pan and cook 1 more minute, stirring constantly.
6
Off the heat, stir in the chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract until melted and smooth.
7
Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled tart shells and press cling film directly onto the surface; chill for at least 2 hours until fully set.
8
Just before serving, top each pie with whipped chilled Greek yogurt and scatter over the fresh raspberries.
