Earl Grey Pie Recipe - the pie my friends always crave

[captions ON for commentary]
I have a pinned comment below of the mistakes that I have made while making this pie. I hope you can give it a look if you are deciding to also make this pie so that you can avoid the errors that I made.
Blog: www.joshuacooksthendraws.com/...
Have you ever had an earl grey pie? If you haven't and are a fan of anything earl grey flavored, then you definitely need to give this pie a try. It's the pie that my friends usually request for and is great for anytime but especially spring or summer! It starts with a pie crust that has a small layer of dark chocolate ganache. I then add earl grey pastry cream and then top it off with some whipped cream. Some chopped pistachios are added on top for decoration. This recipe is inspired by the earl grey pie sold at Pie Hole.
My process for making pie dough is linked in the video but you can also find it here: • Pie Dough Recipe - my ...
As for the pastry cream, I used Tartine's pastry cream recipe as a base.
The ingredients are for making TWO pies.
Ingredients:
Pie Dough
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
Pastry Cream
10 earl grey standard tea bags
32 oz whole milk (4 cups)
1 tablespoon vanilla paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
60 grams cornstarch (around 7-8 tablespoons)
230 grams sugar
4 large eggs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
Chocolate Ganache
1 bar of good quality dark chocolate
A few splashes of heavy cream
Whipped Cream
4 cups of whipped cream (I used some of this for the ganache)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Handful of chopped pistachios
*I realized post production that I overheated the chocolate 😓. I would definitely recommend heating it more gently on a simmer as opposed to my making it in a hurry.

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Thank you everyone for visiting! I learned a lot from the plethora of advice I received here. I made quite a bit of mistakes in my video 😬 but I'm hoping to constantly learn as I keep creating! Here are some things of note: -stop using metal utensils on my dutch oven. I recently bought a silicone whisk! And though I do use a wooden spoon most of the times, I forget at times haha. Will make a conscious commitment to remember! -lower the heat while melting the chocolate. I never really overheated chocolate before this but I kind of rushed the process due to recording and time constraints haha. One great tip I received is to pour the hot cream over the chocolate to let it melt gently. My only concern was that I wanted a pretty firm ganache and so I used less cream; I was unsure if the small amount of cream would be enough to melt the larger amount of chocolate? -use less corn starch. I used Tartine's recipe for pastry cream and they suggest 4 tablespoons or 60ml of corn starch for their banana cream pie. I was making a double batch so opted for around 100ml but it seems that even that was a bit too much for my preference. Will use probably around 85-90ml or even less next time. -fully whip the pastry cream before adding in the whipped cream. Do this to prevent lumps! D: I read before to not whisk it too much because it will break down the starch and loosen the cream, but I realize that.... that's exactly what I wanted to happen.... hahahha -mix the sugar and corn starch together first before adding the eggs. Easier incorporation of the eggs! -don't squeeze the teabags? I'm still 50/50 on this one. I understand the science of it since squeezing the teabags will release more tannins which adds a bitter taste. But I kind of like the tannins in this pie; it adds some bitterness to offset the sweetness. Some tasty alterations I read that people suggested: -adding lavender -white chocolate ganache -not including the chocolate. If you're not a huge fan of chocolate, or even feel as if the chocolate will overpower the earl grey flavor, this pie works just as well without it. :)

[@mossselkie7438]

You can actually get a much firmer ganache even if you use a larger amount of cream. 2:1 is the golden ratio, basically once it cools down in the fridge you can control how firm it is based on how much air you impart on it afterwards. all you need to do is whip it a bit less as you let it cool, and ensure you do not *over whip* to ensure it doesn't break. hope this helps!

[@uptown3636]

Wow, what a lovely way to respond to criticism in the comments section. I really enjoyed the video, and these updates are so very helpful for a beginner like me. I love Earl Grey. Seriously, my family buys me earl grey cookies every Christmas because they know I'm obsessed with the tea. I can't wait to try this.

[@firegodessreiko]

A few seconds in the microwave and then pouring the warm cream over the half-melted chocolate is another good way if you don't think your cream is enough heat.....and I do mean SECONDS. Ten seconds then stir to check it! Also, I do wonder if maybe a salted caramel might compliment the tea better than chocolate anyway.....lavender sounds lovely, but a hint of orange or grapefruit zest and the smallest drip of rose oil and you'll have a Lady Grey pie~ Experiments are fun! (Also, your dutch oven is coated in ceramic, it looked like....a metal utensil isn't the end of the world.)

[@Kat-xy7fm]

The Squeezing the tea bags thing should be fine for this because tannins bind to fat--that's why you add cream to coffee to offset the bitterness. The whole milk will cancel out the bitterness for the most part so it's palatable. For something with less fat in it, though, you can get something inedibly bitter--like if you ate the used tea leaves after removing them from steeping.

[@servnava6601]

I wouldn't worry about squeezing the tea bags if you aren't getting the milk to a boil which would scald it. Black teas can't fully extract until close to boiling anyway and tannins won't really come out however I would try making an earl grey syrup rather than adding it straight to the milk (you could use less bags cause tea will concentrate quite a bit in water. Alternately you could just leave the tea bags in milk overnight. Both tannins and caffeine only extract with heat so you wouldn't get either but you would get all the flavour (which is why most sweet tea is decaf cause it's cold brewed).

[@punkivy9776]

When I see all these other bakers with their stand mixers and their custom made granite counter tops, I think to myself "I wish I could do that." But when I see you baking with regular equipment in a regular apartment, it makes me feel like I can do it.

[@swisski]

Kia Ora Joshua, I’ve just discovered your lovely channel and was charmed by your work. If I might be so bold and make a few small suggestions? I would pour the infused milk through a large sieve set over a bowl and squeeze very gently. I would reduce, possibly halve the quantity of cornstarch used, as the even that much will make the pie set, even with adding the whipped cream. When you go to beat the cold custard before adding the whipped cream, try blending it with your handheld cake beaters or even an immersion stick blender. It will save your whisk and arm, making the mixture so smooth that you can easily fold in the whipped cream without deflation. Try chilling your pastry for 30 minutes before blind baking, and you should see way more definition in your beautifully baked crimped crust, which I was greatly admiring when you were shaping it! You can use a bit more hot cream, poured over your bowl of chopped chocolate for your ganache so that it doesn’t seize. I apologise if the suggestions are a bit too much, but let’s put it down to a professional deformation. Good luck with your channel, it is completely charming. Peas and Lovage from New Zealand!

[@vixneko8240]

Just one more piece of advice, if you don't mind: When you're done making the whipped cream, I suggest you put half in the fridge immediately and before you start incorporating it into your pastry cream. That way, your whipped cream for topping will remain stiffer, and you won't lose as much volume as you did in the video.

Great video and I’m definitely gonna try this recipe. Just a few tips I think it might help you next time: 1- when making the custard is easier to mix the eggs + sugar first then add the potato starch and mix it. 2- it’s easier to whip the custard prior to mixing it with the whipped cream, it saves you a lot of work and time. I hope this helps 😊

I made this last week for my family and my coworkers, and everyone loved it.

[@sabergon3081]

Hey man, love the recipe! I'll definitely be making this! I didn't see this suggestion previously, but when removing the teabags, don't actually squeeze them. I know its tempting because you want every drop of earl grey goodness, but doing so releases tannic acid in the tea which is bitter and will also weaken the flavor. Just add more bags if you need a stronger flavor :)

[@tessicafrohman5020]

Yes!!! This pie looks delicious, but I wanted to write a comment about the astringency added from this common habit. Thank you, fellow tea lover

[@carolnearson7932]

I do it with my cups of tea and only notice bitterness if the tea bag steeps too long.

[@carolnearson7932]

Where’s the drawing?? Lol.

[@JustMeUpNorth]

I know you've had loads of feedback on this recipe already, but I just thought I'd suggest adding less cornstarch, as your custard looks very very thick. You could even knock it down to half and things would still be fine, I think. I usually add two heaping tablespoons to a pint of milk for a thick custard, an extra heaping tablespoon if I want it to set like a milk pudding when it's cold. It'd make your lovely earl grey custard much easier for you to mix, too, and probably no lumps either (if you stir it constantly). Fantastic recipe, I'd never thought of an earl grey flavoured pie. It sounds amazing!

Congratulations on getting in the algorithm 🥰 Some small tips… I think I noticed your pie crust being a bit difficult to get through at the end. That may mean it was blind-baked for a bit too long; Townsends, Bruno Albouze, and Adam Ragusea have fantastic recipes that I’ve never gone wrong with. I noticed as well that the pastry cream was a bit thick both during the cooking stage and after cooling; it might be better to use a tad less starch so that the whipped cream is easier to incorporate later on, and you can keep some more of that lovely fluffy texture. I’m going to try this recipe out though!!! Thank you for sharing, I’m excited!!!! 💕

[@jmhart1996]

Looks super. A good tip with chocolate ganache that literally makes it impossible to overheat the chocolate and make it grainy is to heat the cream over the bainmarie (bowl over water) until it is warm enough to melt the chocolate, then remove the bowl from the heat and add the chocolate and stir til its melted. This way you get a tempered fully melted ganache that will not split.

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Oooh thank you for the tip! Will use that method next time. I wanted a pretty firm ganache so used less cream but was wondering if all the chocolate would still melt since theres less of the heated liquid being poured on top?

[@Cheesyenchilady]

@@joshuacooksthendraws you can put the cream & chocolate in the bowl at the same time, and heat it using the bainmarie. The extra heat will melt the chocolate even if the cream wouldn’t be enough to melt it on its own. Am I making sense? I’m tired lol

I'm not normally the type to leave comments, but this recipe looks so good I'm definitely gonna have to try it myself. Here's some pie crust tips that might help you get an even looking crust :) -to get an evenly crimped edge it's best to have a uniform overhang, even if you're tucking the dough underneath. I like to use scissors once the dough is in the pan so I can cut the excess to have an even overhang all around. -I noticed your pie dough shrank a bit, which can be due to a few things, but my guess is that it's because you used a glass pan for one of your pies. Glass tends to be more slippery opposed to metal. You can also bake at 350 instead of 375 to see if that minimizes shrinking. -A little bit of egg wash goes a long way in the looks department! There's lots of types but my favorite is the whole egg with a small splash of milk, and of course a sprinkling of raw sugar around the edges I hope this helps you out in your future endeavors of beautiful pie making!!

Thanks for sharing your video on making an Earl Grey pie! By the way, I noticed you used a smooth knife to chop the chocolate, and I just wanted to suggest that using a serrated knife might be a safer option for next time. Serrated knives are great for chopping chocolate as the teeth can grip the chocolate and prevent it from sliding around on the cutting board. This makes it easier to get a clean cut and can prevent accidents from occurring. So, if you're looking for a way to make your chocolate chopping process safer and more efficient, I'd definitely recommend trying a serrated knife. Thanks again for the delicious-looking recipe and happy baking!

I was going to suggest just this, great tip for cutting up chocolate

[@gremloid]

I didn't know this, thank you! I don't chop chocolate very often but its always a pain (not literally, thankfully I've never hurt myself doing it)

[@EmilyJelassi]

I’m definitely going to make this one!! We love Earl Grey tea and the addition of chocolate sounds delicious!!

[@JoeDeanHinkle]

Great recipe! I added orange zest on the finished product, really kicked it up a notch.

[@meganpustaver5768]

Thank you for the very relaxing 15 minutes 😊 and great job! They look absolutely delicious!

[@annem7806]

My sister thought she saw chocolate pudding in the fridge. She grabbed a spoon for a mouthful, and found out it was beef gravy 😆🤪🤢

[@xXMango_jellyXx]

Lol that must have been embarrassing 😂

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Whoops

[@annem7806]

@@ChibiPanda8888 she hasn't had gravy since then. Decades🤣

I remember once a neighbor in college came over with a bottle of earl grey infused vodka and asked to share with me. It had the sting of tannins you would expect from the tea, but also the floral notes people enjoy so much. That memory makes me think this pie might be very good, and I think I will try my own hand at making it sometime. Thank you for sharing it!

[@arus.2171]

what vodka was it? i’m curious to try it :)

[@SpamSpam99]

This is one of the most relaxing cooking videos I have seen

[@CrazyKidPapaya]

[@maryannknox7158]

This looks so Delicious actually Earl Gray Tea ☕️ is My Favorite Tea 🫖 Yummy what a treat

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Thank you! And I agree earl grey tea is so delicious!

[@Flareontoast]

This looks delicious! I can imagine this going amazing with white chocolate ganache. I've made earl grey cake before, with lemon/lime in it. So good!

[@noodles.6388]

we need more calm cooking/baking channels like this 🙏

[@juliussiemes9569]

Mesmerizing. I have watched this entire video with my mouth opened out of pure astonishment because the life that i have been living up until now was the life if a fool. I am now reborn.

[@Zaron22]

Just discovered your channel through this vid and I love it! It's such a cozy vibe with delicious recipes and relaxing music. Keep up the great work!

[@unger1864]

never heard of earl grey pie before but I would love to try this sometimes :)

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Yes. I definitely recommend trying it! One of my favorite pies :D

[@lemonademan16]

The folding technique is genius!

[@reubenbailey7491]

Man your music choice in these are absolutely jazz-ilicious!

[@user-jp6nk3lp7y]

it's so proper title now i understood why your friends always crave x) i baked it for a friend and she loooooove it!! i was worried if it's too sweet but not that sweet at all (as korean, it is a best compliment)

[@bcrain2733]

This is the first time I’ve watched your channel but… I have to say I love your username. Straight and simple, to the point, I didn’t even start the video and I knew what to expect. Perfect level of studio ghibli food romanticism. 10/10.

[@DemonFireGaming]

This video reminded me of my grandparents, I had a good cry, thank you

[@zvezdoblyat]

I've always wanted to try early grey pound cake. It sounds so so good 😋

[@6stringgunner511]

Awesome Recipe! I followed along with your video recipe and the pies were GREAT!!! I'm making a couple pies for the Senior center New Year's Eve party coming up. We're ALWAYS Looking forward to trying something different!!! THIS is perfect and Delicious, TOO!!! Thank You!!! Happy New Year to You and Yours!

[@mrtoast244]

I never thought that I would have to imagine this flavour, but that looks pretty good

[@joie8422]

It looks so good! Earl Grey is my favorite tea. I had never heard of it as a pie. Definitely want to try it!

[@ramenseller]

I'm having a bad day, and I just discovered you, and... I've decided you're my comfort channel

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Thank for visiting! And hope your days gets better!! 🥰

[@Mormollio]

I've never wanted to eat or make a pie in my life until watching this video 🤤

[@Petals_midair]

The commentary is so wholesome and detailed.

[@mafiosasssss02]

Ok but that jazz background music did not have to go that hard! I’m definitely trying this recipe out whenever I get the chance!!!

[@mylx1]

Looks super delicious, maybe i'll make it one day if i ever get off the couch

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

No need to get off the couch if I make you one :D

[@benmarleor]

I’ve made Earl Grey mug cake plenty of times before, I definitely gotta try making this too!

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Earl grey mug cakes sound delicious! Happy baking!! :D

[@xxxmysticaldragonxxx]

I love earl grey tea , and I love pie, so I think this is a match made in heaven for me. I would love to try and make this myself. Thank you for making this and showing how to do it yourself, it looks so fun to make and I bet it tastes amazing.

[@elaineproffitt1032]

The first cut was beautiful!

[@riverdan4]

Ooooh what an interesting recipe! My mum loves tea so I'll make this for her for Easter! Your captions are delightful as well :D

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Aw thank you!!

[@Angie-in8wc]

Please let us know how it went.

[@riverdan4]

Since you asked for an update, I mentioned to mum over the phone I might make one and she was like "uhhhhh idk early grey has a really strong flavour maybe you shouldn't" (even though she would enjoy it, she just doesn't want me to have 7/8ths of a spare pie I won't like) So what I'm going to do make a test pie and eat some and distribute parts of it to my friends (and discover its delicious) then make a second, even better pie and take that to Easter!

[@reagan4417]

This looks amazing. I make personal sized earl grey tarts, the filling is exactly how you make, and I top them with berries. I love the idea of the chocolate on the bottom and the pistachios, will definitely try this! Love earl grey desserts 😻

[@Christiechocs]

Im thinking of making a personal tart version of this for myself! But downsizing the recipe from two full pies to one small pie sounds like a pain haha. I was thinking some edible flowers (petals?)with the pistachios would be a lovely decoration.

[@sTVG2]

I came here to see the recipe but I cant get over how good the music is!🎉😮

[@Amroko-zg4by]

I've made this pie twice now. I made it first for a christmas gathering and everyone loved it. 2nd pie was made just for my household so we could enjoy more of it. Highly recommend this pie. The tea flavor comes through so well and the chocolate and creme balance it all.

[@milky7200]

earl grey is such a nice addition to pastries ☺️ i once made sugar cookies with them and they turned out so nice. my favourite brand is definitely harney & sons! but they're a bit harder to get in australia as they only supply to specific boutique cafes and artisan fine dining so that's a shame :(

[@naquiyahibrahim6027]

I just stumbled upon this channel, and I instantly subscribed to it. Seeing you bake this pie makes me want to make it for my friend because she loves Earl Grey cake - this might be her new favourite!!! Ngl this inspires me to make my own baking channel!! Keep uploading more recipes

[@SnoogyWoogy]

Such a nice and relaxing video to watch. I also love how all of the ingredients are super common and fairly cheap making this super accessible. While a bit time consuming you helped show that it really isnt hard to make. I'll try making this with my room mate this weekend. I think it'll be fun and shes a sucker for earl grey flavored things.

[@m.garcia7465]

In my freshman year of college, my roommates and I bought a earl gray pie from a custom pie shop. I LOVED it but never considered that I could make it myself. It just seemed so above my own baking skills. Then I saw your video! I just tried the recipe this past weekend and it turned out great. Thank you so much :)

[@bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb-]

If you're worried about whipping cream into butter, put some cream of tartar and it'll stabilize it. I messed up a little bit of whipping cream I tried to whip and it broke before I could finish. I felt so defeated since I'd whisked it for 10 min straight and my arm was hurting by that point. Then the second time I used the cream of tartar because I'd heard that would help and it did. I was able to get whipping cream and not have to worry about breaking the cream into butter.

[@joshuacooksthendraws]

Ooh thanks for the helpful tip!! I believe I should have some cream of tartar from when I made macarons. Brb as I search my pantry... Haha

[@itsshrimpinabag9544]

Yep, just 1/4 tsp will do!

[@hotlavatube]

Looks good. This reminds me of when I made tea ice cream. The original recipe used Earl Grey tea, but I opted to use Darjeeling which had a nice caramel flavor. It turned out great, though I was surprised by how much caffeine the ice cream ended up having. More than a couple scoops and I definitely had the caffeine jitters.
