Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:43 In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt.
01:10 Add egg yolks, milk, and heavy cream and transfer to stovetop over medium heat and whisk ingredients together.
04:01 Whisk ingredients frequently until ingredients begin to thicken (this will take several minutes, do not crank up the heat or your filling may not thicken properly).
04:56 Once mixture has thickened² (it should be like a pudding consistency) whisk constantly, the mixture will come to a boil and continue to whisk for 60 seconds before removing from heat (still whisking constantly).
05:12 Immediately add chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract.
05:19 Whisk until ingredients are smooth and chocolate and butter are completely melted.
05:28 Pour your pie filling through a fine mesh sieve into a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
06:22 Pour filling over prepared pie crust and cover surface with clear wrap, making sure that the clear wrap is pressed against the surface of the chocolate to prevent a skin from forming.
07:03 Refrigerate at least 6 hours to allow chocolate pie to firm up and set.
Homemade Whipped Cream
Prepare Whipped Cream shortly before serving pie.
Combine ¾ cup heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a clean medium-sized bowl.
Use an electric mixer to stir on low-speed. Gradually increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form.
07:23 Pipe (I used a Wilton 2D tip) or dollop whipped cream topping over pie just before serving.
Notes
¹a 60 or 70% cacao bar works great, I often use Ghirardelli which is available right next to the cocoa powder in the baking section.
²It is important that your mixture thickens and comes to a boil, otherwise it will not set properly.

Recipe
Makes one 9-inch (23 cm) pie
Serves 8 to 10
Ingredients
Crust
1 ½ cups (270 g) chocolate cookie crumbs
¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
Chocolate Cream
5 oz (150 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 Tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
3 Tbsp (22 g) cornstarch
½ tsp (2.5 g) salt
1 1/4 cups (310 mL) 2% milk
1 ¼ cups (310 mL) 18% cream
6 large egg yolks
Topping
1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream
2 Tbsp (16 g) icing sugar, sifted
¼ tsp (1 mL) vanilla extract
Directions
1. For the crust, preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Stir the cookie crumbs and melted butter together until evenly combined and press this into a lightly greased 9-inch pie plate. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then cool while preparing the filling.
2. For the filling, place the chocolate, butter and vanilla in a bowl with a strainer placed over it. Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepot. Whisk in the milk and cream and then the egg yolks and then bring this up to a simmer on medium heat while whisking constantly, until the mixture just begins to bubble and is glossy and thick (once it starts to thicken, it happens quickly.) Pour this through the strainer over the chocolate and butter and whisk until the chocolate and butter have melted. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling, cool to room temperature and then chill for at least 4 hours to set.
3. Once chilled, stir the filling gently and spoon this into the pie shell, spread to level it.
4. For the topping, whip the cream to a soft peak and whip in the icing sugar and vanilla. Spread this over the chocolate cream and serve.
The crust and chocolate cream can be prepared a full day in advance, but the topping should be made within 4 hours of serving.

6 Tablespoons cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 cups milk
6 egg yolks
4 Tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
Mix, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a large sauce pan. Whisk in about half of the milk to dampen. Add egg yolks, and whisk well. Then stir in the rest of the milk.

MERINGUE:
6 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
