Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Cream Pie.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your delightful pie.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the sugar and egg yolks, beating them together until the mixture achieves a creamy, harmonious consistency.
Step 3
Next, introduce the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt, blending everything until it’s perfectly integrated.
Step 4
Gradually fold in the milk, stirring gently until the mixture is luxuriously smooth.
Step 5
Transfer this velvety concoction to a large saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Step 6
Stir continuously as it heats, watching for it to bubble and thicken to a consistency that coats the back of a metal spoon.
Step 7
Once it reaches that luscious thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract, allowing the mixture to cool just a bit.
Step 8
Pour the rich chocolate filling into your pre-baked pie crust, smoothing it out to create an even surface.
Step 9
Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for 2 to 4 hours, letting it set to perfection.
Step 10
When you’re ready to serve, crown your masterpiece with a generous dollop of thawed whipped topping for that final touch of indulgence.
Step 11
Enjoy every bite of this chocolatey delight!.
