For an even richer flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder. If you prefer a pastry crust, blind-bake a 10-inch pie crust according to your favorite recipe. For an elegant presentation, top the chilled pie with freshly whipped cream or chocolate shavings before serving. To avoid lumps, sift the cocoa powder and cornstarch together before adding them to the wet ingredients.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened. (5 minutes)
02
StepGradually whisk in the milk, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. (2 minutes)
03
StepStir in the half-and-half and place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent scorching. (2 minutes)
04
StepContinue whisking until the filling thickens and begins to bubble gently, about 15-20 minutes. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent burning.
05
StepOnce thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy. (2 minutes)
06
StepAllow the filling to cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming, about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)
07
StepPour the slightly cooled filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. (2 minutes)
08
StepChill the pie uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely. (240 minutes)
