Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 4 tablespoons Ice water
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cups Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To prepare the crust, in a mixing bowl combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 cups of cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 4 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim off any excess around the edges. Use a fork to prick the crust base all over and bake the crust for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1.5 cups of granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch.

Step 6

Gradually add 2.5 cups of whole milk to the dry ingredients in the saucepan, stirring to ensure no lumps remain. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs. Slowly temper the eggs by adding a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture to them, whisking constantly. Repeat this process until half of the chocolate mixture is incorporated into the eggs.

Step 8

Return the tempered egg mixture back to the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Cook over medium heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until glossy and thickened.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 0.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips until the chocolate chips are melted and fully incorporated.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let the pie cool at room temperature for 1 hour before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours or until set.

Step 12

Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
