• To a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add the sugar, and milk and whisk well to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently.
• Meanwhile, add the egg yolks and cornstarch to a bowl and whisk until smooth.
• Once the saucepan mixture is simmering, add a few spoonfuls of the hot liquid into the egg yolks and whisk to temper the eggs. Add a few more spoonfuls of the hot liquid into the egg yolks. Then slowly whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Whisk constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a very gently boil (big bubbles begin to break the surface).
• Remove pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, chopped chocolate, and vanilla extract. Stir until completely smooth.
• Pour filling into the cooled cookie crust and smooth into an even layer. Place a piece of plastic wrap gently on top and refrigerate until filling is set, about 4-6 hours or overnight, if desired.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Roll the pie dough out on a lightly floured board to about 1/4-inch thick, then fit into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
• Place a piece of parchment paper into the pie crust and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust is starting to set and the edges are browning, 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and beans, and continue to bake until completely golden and crisp looking, another 5 minutes. If the edges start browning before the center cooks, cover them with some foil. Let cool completely.
• Melt the bittersweet chocolate over a double boiler. Using a pastry brush, paint the inside of the pie shell with the melted chocolate in a thin even layer. Set aside to harden.
• For the chocolate filling: Meanwhile, in the top of a double boiler heat 2 cups of the milk until almost, but not quite, boiling. Add the chocolate and stir until it's completely melted. Set aside off the heat.
• In a big bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt. Whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup milk.
• Stir the flour mixture into the hot chocolate mixture. Return the double boiler to the heat, whisk in the egg yolks, and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very thick, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, then transfer to another bowl. Cover with plastic wrap directly touching the surface, and refrigerate until cold.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap.
• Then, in a chilled bowl, beat the whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar until stiff.
• Pile decoratively onto the pie, and top with garnish if desired.
• NOTE: I have found my small hand-held mixer works better for this than my stronger tabletop model.
• If you use a tabletop mixer, be careful you don't overmix.
• This pie should be thick, dense and creamy, and overbeating the eggs will give it a more mousse-like texture.
• It's by no means bad that way, but it is much better when the consistency is thick.
