Point of information, please. What are wheat berries? Around here were grow
wheat that threshes out to individual grains of wheat. Then those grains are
gound into flour. BTW - we grow hard winter wheat here. More northern climes
grow the softer, short season, spring wheat .... which AFAIK comes in grains of
wheat also.

  We love the cinnamon in Mexican chocolate. For this pie, we
  surround a smooth chocolate-pudding filling with cinnamonŸa
  crumbly spiced graham cracker crust below and cinnamon whipped
  cream on top.
  
  Make crust: Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  
  Stir together all crust ingredients. Press over bottom and
  up side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set, 12 to 15 min,
  then cool.
  
  Make filling: Melt chocolate in a large bowl.
  
  Stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a
  small bowl.
  
  Whisk together whole eggs and yolks in another bowl, then
  whisk in cornstarch mixture.
  
  Stir together milk, cream, salt, and remaining brown sugar
  in a heavy medium saucepan and bring just to a boil over
  medium heat. Pour half of milk mixture into egg mixture in
  a slow stream, whisking, then pour egg mixture into remaining
  milk mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, whisking
  constantly, then boil, whisking, 1 minute. Remove from heat
  and whisk in butter and vanilla. Strain through a fine-mesh
  sieve into melted chocolate and whisk to combine.
  
  Transfer hot filling to crust and chill, its surface covered
  with parchment, until filling is cold, about 3 hours.
  
  Make Whipped cream: Beat cream with confectioners sugar and
  cinnamon using an electric mixer until it holds stiff peaks.
  Spoon over chilled filling.
  
  Make chocolate curls: Hold chocolate in your hands (or micro
  wave on low power in 10-sec intervals) until surface softens
  slightly. Using a vegetable peeler (preferably Y-shaped),
  “peelö large chocolate curls onto a paper towel. If curls
  are too brittle or don’t form easily, rewarm chocolate just
  until surface softens.
  
  Sprinkle curls on pie.
  
  Cooks' notes:
  
  •Crust can be baked 2 days ahead and kept, loosely covered
  with foil (once cool), at room temperature.
  
  •Pie can be chilled, loosely covered with plastic wrap (once
  cold), up to 1 day.
