How to Make Chocolate Chess Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup whole milk until smooth.
  4. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until the batter is smooth and creamy.
