Step 1

Finely chop the chocolate and place it in a medium size bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Add the gelatin to a small bowl and add the 1 tablespoon of water. Stir to moisten the gelatin and set aside.

Step 3

Add the egg yolks and cornstarch to a medium size bowl and beat with a wire whisk to combine. Set the bowl on a kitchen towel somewhere close to the stovetop. (This will keep the bowl from sliding around on your counter when you whisk in the hot milk.)

Step 4

Set a 1 or 2 cup heat proof measuring cup next to the stovetop. (Preferably one with a pourable spout.)

Step 5

Add the milk, sugar, and salt to a 3-quart or larger heavy bottomed saucepan and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, just until it barely begins to boil. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 6

Pour 2 cups of the hot milk into the measuring cup. (If using a 1-cup measure, do this in two batches.) Slowly pour the hot milk from the measuring cup into the egg yolks, pouring very slowly, and whisking constantly. Then, pour everything back into the saucepan and set it over low heat. (*See note.)

Step 7

Cook, stirring constantly, until the custard is thick and begins to boil. As soon as thickens to the consistency of pudding and barely begins to boil, remove from the heat and whisk for about 20 seconds longer.

Step 8

Pour the pastry cream over the chopped chocolate. Do not stir.

Step 9

Break the gelatin into small pieces and drop them onto the hot pastry cream. Let stand for about 20 seconds to let the gelatin melt, then stir until the gelatin and the chocolate are completely incorporated, about 20 seconds. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Step 10

Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap over the surface of the pastry cream. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 48 hours. (*At this point, the pastry cream can be frozen. See notes below.)

Step 11

Follow the instructions in the recipe for Toasted Almond Pie Crust to roll out and fully pre-bake the crust.

Step 12

Let the crust cool completely before filling.

Step 13

Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat 3/4 cup of the heavy cream with an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.

Step 14

Remove the cooled chocolate pastry cream from the refrigerator and add to the whipped cream. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until fully combined, about 1 minute.

Step 15

Scoop the chocolate cream filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing it out into an even layer.

Step 16

Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream with 2 tsp vanilla extract and the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chocolate cream filling.

Step 17

Refrigerate the pie until ready to serve.
