Instructions

Preparation

Press the chocolate cookie crumbs mixed with melted butter into the pie pan to form a crust. Chill for at least 20 minutes.
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and milk until the mixture thickens.
Temper the egg yolks by whisking some of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, then return the mixture to the saucepan and cook for another minute until glossy.
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, whisking until smooth. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
Let the filling cool until not warm to the touch, then fold in the heavy whipping cream.
Pour the filling into the chilled crust and chill until set, approximately 3-4 hours.
Top with additional whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Store in the fridge. Cover loosely to avoid crushing the top. Best enjoyed chilled, and can be frozen without whipped cream topping.
