Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups chocolate wafer crumbs (can use store-bought ready-made chocolate crust or use a graham cracker crust)
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups whipping cream (measure 2 cups before whipping)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)

Directions:

  1. Set oven to 350 degrees F (middle rack).
  2. To make crust: mix together all ingredients.
  3. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate (1-quart capacity).
  4. Bake for 12 minutes: cool completely.
  5. For filling: in a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan (make certain to use a heavy saucepan for this as it will scorch on the bottom) stir together 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, salt and egg yolks.
  6. Whisk in half and half cream; bring to a boil slowly over medium heat, whisking constantly, then add in the finely chopped chocolate until smooth and melted; cook about 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly until thick (filling will be very thick).
  7. Remove from heat and add in butter and vanilla.
  8. Cover the top of the filling with plastic wrap (lay the plastic wrap directly on top of filling) and cool slightly (about 1-1/2 - 2 hours).
  9. Spoon the filling into the crust and cover lighty with plastic wrap.
  10. Refrigerate pie for a minimum of 6 hours (don't try to cut into the pie before the 6 hours it will not hold together!).
  11. Just before serving whip the cream and spoon on top of pie, the grate chocolate on top of the whipped cream if desired.
