Description
A rich and creamy chocolate pie with a festive twist, perfect for Christmas celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9 inch) pre-baked pie crust
- 1 cup Nesquik Chocolate Powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together Nesquik chocolate powder, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
- Slowly temper the egg yolks by whisking about 1 cup of the warm milk mixture into them.
- Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla extract until butter is melted and combined.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Cover the surface of the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the filling to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Notes
- For a firmer pie, you can add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch.
- Ensure you stir constantly while cooking the filling to prevent lumps.
- Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
