Christmas Chocolate Pie

By:  Arl’s Wold

Ingredients

• 1 whole Pie Crust, Baked And Cooled (or Can Use Oreo Or Graham Cracker Crust)
• 1-1/2 cup Sugar
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Whole Milk
• 4 whole Egg Yolks
• 6-1/2 ounces, weight Bittersweet Chocolate, Chopped Finely
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• Whipped Cream, For Serving

Directions

Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir or whisk together.

Pour in milk and egg yolks, and whisk together.

Stir over medium heat until the mixture just barely comes to a boil and becomes thick, about 6-8 minutes (could be more or less; just watch it!) The second it starts to bubble and thicken (note: It should be thick like pudding!) remove it from the heat. Add the chocolate, vanilla, and butter, and stir until everything is combined.

Pour the pudding into the pie crust (if there is extra, spoon it into small dishes) and place in the fridge to chill for 4 hours uncovered.

Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream!
