Steps

1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
2

Add egg yolks, milk, and heavy cream.
3

Transfer milk mixture to stove top on medium heat until ingredients begin to thicken (will take several minutes).
4

Once thickened (should be pudding consistency) whisk constantly. Bring mixture to a boil and continue to whisk for 60 seconds before removing from heat. Continue whisking constantly.
5

Immediately add chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract.
6

Whisk until ingredients are smooth. Chocolate and butter should be completely melted.
7

Pour pie filling through a fine mesh sieve into a medium-sized heatproof bowl. Cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent skin from forming.
8

Pour filling into prepared pie crust and cover surface with clear plastic wrap. Make sure wrap is pressed against the surface of the chocolate to prevent a skin from forming.
9

Refrigerate at least 6 hours to allow custard to firm and set.
