Chocolate Pudding Pie

This pie. Is fantastic. And it is so, so easy.


That's all I'm gonna say about it. Just. Make it. Please. For the sake of your health.

Your ingredients: Chocolate chips, cream, oreos, whole milk, egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla

First, crush up your Oreos, butter, and sugar together and bake a beautiful, delicious piecrust out of it.

In a bowl, whisk together your egg yolks and sugar, then add the cornstarch, vanilla, and salt.

Now melt your milk and chocolate on the stove, try not to drink it all because it smells deliciously like hot chocolate. Then add it to the egg yolks, then back into the pan, then cook it until it thicks up. Then pour it onto the pie crust.


Mm, mm, mmmmmm. Top it with whipped cream and gobble it up!




Chocolate Pudding Pie
Slightly changed from Ezra Poundcake
Crust:
1 1/4 cup very finely ground Oreo crumbs
5 tbsp. butter, melted
3 tbsp. sugar
Pie Filling:
2 1/2 cups whole milk
5 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Whipped Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla


For the crust:
Preheat oven to 350°.


Mix together the crushed Oreos, melted butter, and sugar, then press them into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.


For the pie:
In a heavy saucepan, turn on medium-high heat and combine the milk and chocolate chips. Use a whisk occasionally until the chocolate is melted.


In a large, heat-safe bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Add in the cornstarch, salt, and vanilla. Pour the melted chocolate mix into the bowl and whisk the mixture together until combined.


Pour the whole mixture back into the saucepan and return to medium-high heat. Cook until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble slowly. Remove it from heat and whisk it until it's smooth, about a minute. Pour the mixture onto the pie crust.


Cover the pie with plastic wrap, make sure you lay the plastic wrap directly on top of the pie. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.


For the whip:
With a whisk or an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the sugar, cream, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.


Spoon onto the pie.
