Ingredients For chocolate pie

  • 1 whole pie crust, baked and cooled (or can use oreo or graham cracker crust)
  • 1-1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 4 whole egg yolks
  • 6-1/2 ounces, weight bittersweet chocolate, chopped finely
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • whipped cream, for serving

How To Make chocolate pie

  • 1
    Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir or whisk together.
  • 2
    Pour in milk and egg yolks, and whisk together.
  • 3
    Stir over medium heat until the mixture just barely comes to a boil, about 6-8 minutes (maybe less, maybe more; just watch it!) The second it starts to bubble and thicken remove it from the heat. Add the chocolate, vanilla, and butter, and stir until everything is beautifully combined.
  • 4
    Pour the pudding into the pie crust (if there is extra, spoon it into small dishes) and place in the fridge to chill for 4 hours uncovered.
  • 5
    Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream!
