How to Make Dark Chocolate Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 2 cups whole milk. Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the sugar mixture, ensuring no lumps form.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until melted and combined.
- Add 12 ounces of your favorite dark chocolate chips (melted and slightly cooled) to the custard and whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the chocolate filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust. Let cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set properly.
