ZZ Chocolate Pie

Recipe Added:  5/23/2012
1 prepared pie crust
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups milk
4 egg yolks
6 1/2 oz, semi-sweet chocolate
2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter
whipped cream, for garnish
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, watch closely. When it starts to bubble and thicken like pudding, remove it from the heat. Add the chocolate, vanilla, and butter, and stir until combined.

Pour the pudding into the pie crust and place in the fridge to chill for 4 hours uncovered. Cut into slices and serve with whipped cream, raspberries, and/or chocolate syrup.
Notes
May also use Oreo Or Graham Cracker Crust. This filling is enough for a deep-dish pie crust; a standard crust will have filling left over.
