Ingredients
- 1 regular or deep dish pie crust baked and cooled completely
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 cups whole milk
- 6 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan whisk together the sugar, salt and cornstarch.
- Pour in the egg yolks and milk and whisk again.
- Place this on medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture come to a boil. Keep stirring and watch it closely. You want for the mixture to become thick like a custard or pudding.
- As soon as it thickens and starts to boil remove it from the heat. Add in the chopped chocolate, butter and vanilla. Stir until the chocolate and butter are melted completely.
- Pour the pudding mixture into the pie crust.
- Chill for at least 4 hours or until it is set up.
