Ingredients

• 4 ounces German sweet chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 5 ounces Evaporated milk
• 2/3 cup Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
• 1 9-inch crust Pre-baked pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) if using an unbaked pie crust. Follow instructions on the crust packaging to pre-bake it, or skip this step if you've purchased a fully pre-baked crust.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the German sweet chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 3

Once melted, gradually stir in the evaporated milk. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the chocolate mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 5

Lightly beat the egg yolks in a small bowl. Gradually add a small amount of the warm chocolate mixture to the yolks to temper them, then slowly whisk the tempered yolks back into the saucepan.

Step 6

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 4–5 minutes). It should coat the back of a spoon. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the filling is firm.

Step 9

Before serving, spread or pipe whipped cream on top of the pie and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for garnish, if desired.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
