- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 2 squares semisweet baking chocolate (I use Baker's)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1⁄2 cups milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 3⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract (not imitation)
- 1 baked 8 in pie shell
directions
- Heat milk in saucepan until almost boiling, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Melt chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler, remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks until pale yellow.
- In a separate container, sift the dry ingredients together, then gradually stir into chocolate mixture, returning the pan to the double boiler.
- Add milk slowly and stir over double boiler, until mixture is fully thickened (15-20 minutes).
- Temper the eggs by slowly transferring 1/2 cup chocolate mixture into the egg yolks while whisking the yolks constantly, then slowly add the egg mixture back into the chocolate mixture in the same way.
- Cook over boiler, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, ensuring mixture has thickened adequately. Remove from heat.
- After allowing the mixture to cool slightly, whisk in vanilla and then pour into baked pie shell. Chill with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface of the pie.
- Top with sweetened whipped cream.
