- 1/4 cup of cornstarch.
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 3 cups of whole milk.
- 4 large egg yolks beaten.
- 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Whipped cream for the topping.
Instructions
Mix Dry Parts
- Put sugar, cornstarch, and salt in the saucepan. Whisk them together well.
Add the Milk
- Pour the milk into the pan slowly. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
Cook the Base
- Turn the stove to medium heat. Stir it until it starts to bubble.
Temper the Eggs
- Add a little hot milk to the yolks. Then pour the eggs into the pan.
Thicken the Mix
- Keep whisking for two more minutes. The mix will get very thick.
Add the Chocolate
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the chips, butter, and vanilla.
Fill the Crust
- Pour the hot pudding into your baked crust. Smooth the top with a spoon.
Chill the Pie
- Put the pie in the fridge for four hours. Top with whipped cream before serving.
Notes
- Whisk constantly. This prevents any lumps from forming in the pudding.
- Temper your eggs. It stops the eggs from scrambling in the heat.
- Use whole milk. This makes the filling very rich and creamy.
- Cool the crust. Make sure the crust is cold before filling.
- Use good chocolate. High-quality chips make a big flavor difference.
- Cover with wrap. Put plastic on the surface to prevent skin.
