Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:43 In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt.
01:10 Add egg yolks, milk, and heavy cream and transfer to stovetop over medium heat and whisk ingredients together.
04:01 Whisk ingredients frequently until ingredients begin to thicken (this will take several minutes, do not crank up the heat or your filling may not thicken properly).
04:56 Once mixture has thickened² (it should be like a pudding consistency) whisk constantly, the mixture will come to a boil and continue to whisk for 60 seconds before removing from heat (still whisking constantly).
05:12 Immediately add chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract.
05:19 Whisk until ingredients are smooth and chocolate and butter are completely melted.
05:28 Pour your pie filling through a fine mesh sieve into a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
06:22 Pour filling over prepared pie crust and cover surface with clear wrap, making sure that the clear wrap is pressed against the surface of the chocolate to prevent a skin from forming.
07:03 Refrigerate at least 6 hours to allow chocolate pie to firm up and set.
Homemade Whipped Cream
Prepare Whipped Cream shortly before serving pie.
Combine ¾ cup heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a clean medium-sized bowl.
Use an electric mixer to stir on low-speed. Gradually increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
07:23 Pipe (I used a Wilton 2D tip) or dollop whipped cream topping over pie just before serving.
Notes
¹a 60 or 70% cacao bar works great, I often use Ghirardelli which is available right next to the cocoa powder in the baking section.
²It is important that your mixture thickens and comes to a boil, otherwise it will not set properly.
