How to Make Velvety Chocolate Cream Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup cornstarch, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 cups whole milk.
- Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the sugar mixture, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly with a wire whisk, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat immediately.
- Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the saucepan.
- Stir until the chocolate chips and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Pour the chocolate filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
- Immediately press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pie to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least three to four hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is completely set and firm.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate chips.
