How to Make Old Fashioned Chocolate Cream Pie
- If using the stovetop method: In a heavy saucepan, combine the chocolate, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- If using the stovetop method: Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring for 1 minute.
- If using the microwave method: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- If using the microwave method: Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, then stir. Repeat this process, microwaving in 1-2 minute intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is thick and smooth (about 8-10 minutes total). Watch closely to prevent boiling over.
- Remove from heat (or microwave) and stir in the beaten eggs, vanilla, and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
