This chocolate pie is delicious. It has a strong chocolatey flavor and a consistency slightly firmer than most puddings.
Ingredients:
- 9" pie crust banked (I prefer a chocolate crust)
- 1 1/2 cups White Sugar
- 1/3 cup Cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups Milk
- 3/4 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ounce (two squares usually) unsweetened baking chocolate chopped
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Steps:
- Bake pie shell.
- Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/3 cup cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 2 quart sauce pan.
- Stir in 3 cups of milk, gradually.
- Add 3/4 cups chocolate chips and 1 ounce of chopped unsweetened chocolate
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, at which time the consistency should thicken significantly. Remove from heat
- Whisk egg yolks in a glass bowl.
- Pour in half of the chocolate mixture slowly while continuing to whisk.
- Pour the egg-chocolate mixture back into the sauce pan with the remainder of the chocolate mixture.
- Bring to a boil again.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract.
- Pour mixture into the baked pie shell.
- Put plastic wrap on the surface of the filling and refridgerate for 4 to 48 hours.
- Remove plastic wrap and serve with whipped cream and strawberry slices on top.
