Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 9-inch crust Pre-baked pie crust
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth, ensuring no clumps remain.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high for 5 minutes, pausing every minute to whisk thoroughly. The mixture should begin to thicken.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Slowly add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Step 5

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the milk mixture, whisking to fully incorporate.

Step 6

Return the bowl to the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals, whisking after each interval, until the mixture is thickened (approximately 2-3 minutes total).

Step 7

Stir in the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract until completely melted and smooth.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Let the pie cool slightly at room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 11

Top the pie with whipped cream and optional chocolate shavings before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Marvelous Microwave Chocolate Cream Pie!
