Classic Chocolate Pie Ingredients:
Instructions:













Classic Chocolate Pie Ingredients:
- Pie shell: You can opt for a store-bought pie crust or embark on a homemade crust adventure.
- Chocolate chips: Melt these decadent morsels into the mix for an extra dose of richness. Choose between milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips.
- Cocoa Powder: The heart of our chocolatey filling. I recommend unsweetened cocoa powder, but any variety will work just fine.
- Sugar: Balances out the bitterness of the cocoa. Use either white or brown sugar according to your preference.
- Whole Milk: Provides a creamy, luxurious texture to our pie. For an even richer taste, go for heavy cream or whipping cream.
- Unsalted Butter: Adds a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. Melt it down and incorporate it into the filling.
- Cornstarch: The secret ingredient for achieving the perfect consistency. It helps our filling thicken up just right.
- Vanilla: The perfect finishing touch. Opt for pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa powder.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring until everything is well combined.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Once it starts to thicken, remove it from the heat right away.
- Stir in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips until smooth and velvety.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then pour it into your pre-baked pie shell.
- Let the pie cool to room temperature before covering it with plastic wrap and chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
- Prior to serving, whip up some cream with powdered sugar and vanilla using a hand mixer or electric mixer. Spread this delightful topping over the pie and add any additional garnishes as desired.
