Chocolate pie
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the pie crust in a pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake the crust according to the package instructions and let it cool.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract until the chocolate is melted and the filling is smooth.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the baked pie crust and smooth the top.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once the pie is set, top with whipped cream before serving.
- Enjoy
