Chocolate Pie
1 whole pie crust, baked and cooled (or you can use an oreo or graham cracker crust)
1-1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups whole milk
4 whole egg yolks
6-1/2 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped finely (I use semi sweet or milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tblsp butter
whipped cream, for serving
Prepare your pie crust. I used a frozen pre made pie crust from the store and baked according to package directions. Cool. Combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir or whisk together. Pour in milk and egg yolks, and whisk together. Using a spatula, Stir over medium heat until the mixture just barely comes to a boil and becomes thick. Remove from heat. Add the chopped chocolate, vanilla and butter and stir with a spatula until everything is beautifully combined. Pour the pudding into the pie crust (if there is extra just spoon it into small dishes and chill in fridge and snack on it later. Chill pie in fridge for 4 hours uncovered. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream!
EnJOY!
