📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 standard 12-count muffin pans with nonstick spray.
2
On a lightly floured work surface, roll the pie crusts out to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3 & 1/2-inch cookie cutter (or cup) cut out 18 circles from the pie crusts. Re-roll any scraps of pie dough to cut out the circles, if necessary.
3
Place each circle of pie crust in 18 slots of the prepared muffin pans. Gently press the dough down and around the sides, making sure the dough fits snuggly in each cavity and that there aren't any tears.
4
Transfer the muffin pans to the refrigerator while you make the filling.
5
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 & 1/4 cups sugar, 3 & 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, 5 ounces half-n-half, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined (the filling will be thin.)

6
Remove the muffin pans with the pie crusts from the refrigerator.
7
Evenly distribute the chocolate filling between all 18 pie crusts in the muffin pans (no more than three-quarters of the way full.)
8
Bake for ⏱️ 22 minutes or until the filling sets and there is a thin crackled crust on the tops. (The filling will puff up high, but then deflate once removed from the oven - this is normal.)
9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for ⏱️ 30 minutes, then carefully run a dull knife around the perimeter and remove from the muffin pan and place on the wire rack to cool completely.

You can serve them chilled or at room temperature. Pipe with fresh homemade whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
