Ingredients
- Pie crust for 9-inch pie
Filling
- 2 ½ cups milk
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate cut into chunks (2 squares)
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Roll out pie crust and press into a 9-inch pie plate. Poke holes in the bottom and sides of dough.
- Bake at 450 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- In a large saucepan, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Then slowly add the milk and continue to whisk until smooth.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and then set them aside.
- Place the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly while it cooks to ensure that the bottom doesn't burn.
- Cook until the custard mixture thickens, about 5-6 minutes. Then remove your saucepan from the heat.
- Drizzle 1 cup of the custard mixture into the egg yolks slowly. Stir as you pour in the hot custard, you don't want scrambled eggs!
- Whisk the egg yolk mixture into the rest of the custard in the saucepan and return to heat.
- Add chocolate and stir until melted.
- Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Whisk to combine until the butter is melted.
- Add chocolate custard filling to your cooled pie crust and allow to cool completely in the fridge.
Whipped Cream

- Add vanilla and sugar, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- When ready to serve, top pie with whipped cream!
