Ingredients:

1 1/4 Cups whole-wheat pastry flour

1/4 Cup powdered sugar

1/4 Teaspoon salt

7 Tablespoons (100 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed

2-4 Tablespoons cold water

1 egg white

1 Tablespoon powdered sugar

6 Ounce high-quality dark chocolate (60% cacao), broken into pieces

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

4 large egg yolks

1/2 Cup reduced-fat milk

1/2 Cup plain, low-fat Greek yogurt

2 Tablespoons white whole-wheat flour

1/2 Cup powdered sugar

Preparation:

Prepare dough according to these directions: whole-wheat pie crust recipe.

While crust is cooling, prepare the filling. Place chocolate and butter in a large saucepan. Slowly melt over low heat, stirring often.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and yogurt, then add the milk. Add the flour and whisk well to combine.

When chocolate is melted, turn heat off. Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture (about 2 tablespoons), whisking constantly. Keep pouring the egg mixture, slowly, whisking, until incorporated.

Sift the powdered sugar through a fine-mesh strainer into the chocolate-egg mixture. Whisk until everything is well-incorporated.

Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees F, shielding the crust with foil strips if you need to bake longer than 45 minutes. Pie is ready when the center is slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean. Cool 2 hours in pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
