Just in case you didn't get enough chocolate yesterday, this pie is jam-packed with oodles of creamy dark chocolate.
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3 cups milk, 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped (if using sweetened chocolate, reduce sugar amount to 3/4-1 cup), 4 egg yolks, lightly beaten, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked.
Instructions: Bake pie shell and allow to cool while making filling. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in the milk and chocolate. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce the heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
Gently stir in the butter and vanilla. Spoon into the pastry shell. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
Before serving, spread top with whipped cream, if desired.
