Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

Transfer butter mixture to a medium bowl; stir in ground wafers. Transfer mixture to pie plate; press into bottom and sides, using the bottom of a measuring cup to compress crust. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Bake at 350 or 12 min until set; let cool.

  2. 2

    Heat half-and-half in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat until it just begins to simmer; remove pan from heat.

  4. 4

    Drizzle half-and-half into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until smooth.

    Return mixture to saucepan; heat over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until bubbles rise to the surface and mixture is very thick, 3?4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove pan from heat and add remaining butter and chocolates in small batches, whisking until smooth; stir in 1 1?2 tsp. vanilla.

  7. 7

    Set a sieve over a medium bowl and strain chocolate mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing plastic onto surface; refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
