How to Make Chocolate Old Fashioned Pie
- Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your pie crust box. Bake pie crust according to package directions and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Add the butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens significantly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and fully incorporated.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the chocolate filling to prevent a skin from forming.
- Let the filling cool completely to room temperature. This is crucial for preventing a soggy crust.
- Gently pour the cooled chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Serve chilled, topped with your favorite whipped cream or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
