Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Crust:

3. Firmly press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
4. Bake for 8 minutes.
5. Cool before filling.

Filling:
6. Place the sugar and cornstarch in a heavy 2-quart saucepan.
7. Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure that the cornstarch dissolves.
8. Add the espresso and salt.
9. Then whisk in the eggs, mixing well until no sign of yellow yolk remains.
10. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heat proof rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
11. Remove from the heat and scrape the pan with the spatula, and whisk again until smooth.
12. Return to the heat and cook at a bare simmer for one minute.
13. Remove from the heat and strain through a wire mesh strainer into a medium bowl.
