How to Make Thick Chocolate Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup dark brown sugar, ¼ cup cornstarch, 1 packet (2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until smooth.
- Add 8 ounces (227g) high-quality dark chocolate, chopped.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and thickens for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks.
- Gradually whisk 1 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks, tempering them to prevent scrambling.
- Whisk the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the remaining chocolate mixture.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and thickens for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Stir occasionally until the filling cools and slightly thickens.
- Pour the chocolate filling into a pre-baked 9-inch pie shell. Cover the pie surface with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the filling to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate overnight to allow the pie to set completely.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Top with sweetened whipped cream and enjoy!
