This has to be the best chocolate pie I have ever consumed .
My daughter adapted a few and came up with this winner .
Ingredients:
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt
2 egg yolks
3 cups milk
2 tbsp. butter , softened
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (optional - dark chocolate chips can be used)
Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet chips were used in this one .
1 - pre-baked pie crust , 9 inch deep dish , regular crust will be full .
garnish with Reddi-Whip topping or sweetened whipped cream .
Directions:
1.) Combine sugar with cornstarch and salt in a sauce pan . Whisk egg yolks with milk .
Slowly whisk the milk mixture into the sugar mixture . Set sauce pan over medium heat . Cook stirring constantly , until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil and stir for 1 minute or until thickened . Remove from heat , stir in butter and vanilla .
2.) Add 2 cups of chocolate chips ( you can reserve a few for garnishing if you like) ;
Stir/whisk until chips are melted and mixture is well combined.
Pour chocolate mixture into the pre-baked and cooled pie crust. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the chocolate filling.
Cool to room temperature , Chill completely in the refrigerator.
3.) When completely chilled , remove plastic wrap , smooth out top , garnish with a few chocolate chips and whipped cream .
Use good quality chocolate chips and a good pie crust (Ghirardelli and Pillsbury in this instance) and you will have one of those Pies you dream about !
