How to Make Ultimate Chocolate Cream Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until light and fluffy. Slowly whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture to temper the eggs.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream (optional) and chocolate shavings (optional).
