Ingredients

• 1 whole pie crust, baked and cooled or an Oreo or graham cracker crust
• 1 1/2 c. sugar
• 1/4 c. cornstarch
• 1/4 t. salt
• 3 c. whole milk
• 4 whole egg yolks
• 6-1/2 oz., bittersweet chocolate, chopped finely
• 2 t. vanilla extract
• 2 T. butter
• whipped cream, for serving

Steps

1. Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan; stir or whisk together.
2. Pour in milk and egg yolks; whisk together.
