How to Make Hershey's Hotel Chocolate Cream Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your favorite 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade).
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 ½ cups (355ml) whole milk, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour, and ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch. Add a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks and ¼ cup (60ml) whole milk until light and frothy.
  4. Slowly temper the egg yolk mixture by whisking in about ⅓ of the hot milk mixture from the saucepan. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  5. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
  6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter until melted and smooth.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  9. Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
  11. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional).
