Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 8 tablespoons Salted butter, melted
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 Egg yolks, beaten
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Salted butter
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar for the crust.

Step 3

Pour in the melted butter and mix with a spoon until a thick dough forms.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides to form the crust. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.

Step 6

For the chocolate filling, in a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.

Step 7

Gradually add the milk to the saucepan, whisking continuously until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat.

Step 8

Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly whisk about 1/4 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the beaten egg yolks to temper them and prevent scrambling.

Step 10

Return the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the filling is thick and creamy.

Step 11

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of butter until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 12

Pour the chocolate filling into the baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 13

Let the pie cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 14

Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, if desired.
