CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE RECIPE

You know I love chocolate more than the average person so a pie with a rich chocolate filling is my kind of heaven.

This decadent chocolate cream pie recipe is made with simple ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

• PIE CRUST – We use a traditional pie crust but you could use a graham cracker crust or an Oreo cookie crust. You will need to blind bake a pie crust. I have a homemade pie crust here.
• COCOA POWDER  – This gives us the rich chocolate flavor.
• BUTTER – This adds richness to the pudding.
• EGG YOLKS
• CORNSTARCH – This acts as a thickening agent.
• MILK
• SUGAR
• WHIPPPED CREAM – You must serve this with with fresh whipped cream on top of the pie because it cuts the sweetness. I have an easy recipe for homemade whipped cream made with heavy cream and the whisk attachment.

HOW TO MAKE THIS

1. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and egg yolks together with an electric mixer until combined. Add the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until mixed. Stir in the milk.
2. Pour milk mixture into a large saucepan. Cook egg yolk mixture over medium high heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or whisk until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Let mixture cool for a few minutes.
3. Pour chocolate pudding filling into the baked and cooled pie shell. Chill in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours or until set. Serve with whipped cream and chocolate curls on top.
